Description

This exhibition runs from Thursday 16th January 2025 to Saturday 22nd March 2025.


Stories of Migration celebrates 12 years of innovative storytelling from SOAS-based, not-for-profit organisation, PositiveNegatives.

They specialise in transforming academic research into illustrated stories to engage a wider audience. This often involves collaborating with international teams of artists and writers to produce original comics and animations. The effectiveness of this approach has led to partnerships with prestigious universities across the world, including: SOAS, Sussex, UCL, Max Planck Institute, Harvard and the Peace Research Institute Oslo, along with organisations such as the United Nations, Open Society Foundations, Nobel Peace Centre, The Guardian and the BBC.

While the portfolio of work spans many topics and global issues, migration has been a recurring theme. This exhibition provides a rare insight into the process of creating these pieces, from initial research to scripting and storyboarding, and finally the finished artwork.

It presents some of the most powerful projects PositiveNegatives has produced, shining a light on issues such as the Sri Lankan conflict and Global South to South migration.
