Resor // Journeys
In a couple of weeks
I'll be taking part of a show that opens in Angered, Gothenburg Sweden,
together with Phoebe Boswell and Aysan. All three of us have moved across borders. Our works contain narratives about the movements of people, migrating to find a new place, home, existence. About fleeing, about the longing for freedom.
26 September - 24 October
ESTER SVENSSON is Swedish, born in Pakistan and now lives in London. Her work is influenced by the landscapes and cultures she has lived in or passed through. Ester Svensson describes travelling or migrating people and how the sense of identity, belonging and home is in constant change.

Solidarity with Refugees

Solidarity with Refugees.
Starting from Marble Arch at 12:00, we will march to Downing Street.
You can find all the information here.
On September 14th, Theresa May will be attending a meeting of the EU's 28 member states for emergency talks on Europe’s escalating refugee crisis.
It is vital that she takes with her the conviction that the British people that she represents are open to helping refugees and that we can’t continue to allow thousands to die trying to reach the EU and their legal right to claim asylum.
We have to ensure that refugees can reach Europe safely. There needs to be either official safe transport provided, or if people could apply for asylum from outside the EU they would be able to enter by official routes.
We need to prioritise the fast processing of asylum claims from people from particularly dangerous regions, such as Syria.
We can’t allow any EU countries to close their borders or build fences. There needs to be Europe-wide consensus on providing help where it is so desperately needed, relieving pressure on the Mediterranean countries.

in progress...
"Ask the corners of his bed about restlessness, the one who passed the night tossing in longing."
That's a poem that was painted on a truck in Pakistan, found in Wings of Diesel by Jamal J. Elias.
The past few months i've been working on pieces for a show that will be in Sweden in September. More details closer to the time, but for now here is a little picture.
