Listen now to: 'Why am I in your Country?' wherever you get your podcasts.


In this brand new episode of Why am I in your Country? we talk to Samira Kitman, one of the most talented young artists in Afghanistan and former Afghan Businesswoman of the Year - who had to escape to the UK in 2016 after receiving death threats - talks about how she rescued some of Afghanistan's top artists' work from the Taliban.


Thank you to the National Lottery Heritage Fund for making this podcast possible.

Great news – following the enthusiastic take up of our Chelsea Theatre workshops,

now in their third year, we will be restarting the workshops very soon after the

Christmas Break. These workshops have been funded by the National Lottery

Community Fund, Awards for All, as well as K& Council Arts grant, Chelsea Theatre

and private donors. We are also interviewing participants for our podcast, Why Am I

In Your Country? So that migrants’ stories and voices can be more widely heard.

Oral heritage project


Following the extraordinary take up of our Trojans Hounslow workshops last year

(we had 120 refugees and asylum seekers!), we are continuing with the project. We

are currently doing oral heritage interviews with participants. We will be restarting the

workshops in February, in the run up to a performance at the Hounslow Arts Centre.

We will also be loading many of the interviews up on our podcast and lodging the

archive locally at Gunnersbury Park museum. This project has been funded partly by

the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Thriving Hounslow, Hounslow Arts Centre and

private donors.
