Traces

What is it?

The Traces Project is an interactive website telling the story of the contributions of refugee artists to the United Kingdom. Through testimonials of artists, poets, filmmakers, architects and photographers who found refuge in Great Britain, readers are made aware of the great creative work these artists continue to do despite the hardships of flight.

The Traces Project was developed by the UK charity Counterpoint Arts with support of UNHCR.
