Untold | Unheard | Vulnerable | Refugees - Art Exhibition with works by vulnerable minority refugee groups
The Museum of World Culture hosts the exhibition Untold | Unheard | Vulnerable | Refugees, which is a part of the "Gilgamesh project: Untold experiences of vulnerable refugees".
In the exhibition, refugee/migrant artists exhibit their artwork about the suffering of their people, the experiences of forced migration, trauma and war – which are central themes in their art works.
The same research project held a workshop, hosted by the Centre on Global Migration in September 2017. 
The participants of the workshop were national and international scholars and NGO representatives who have expertise on the situation of vulnerable refugee groups originating from the Middle East. You can read a report from the workshop at the Gilgamesh project website.
Showcasing works of minority groups
The art exhibition showcases selected artwork of twelve international artists who are members of the Assyrian and Yazidi communities, minority groups who are faced with extinction and forced migration.
Their artwork visualises the suffering of these minority groups, their fear of extinction, and their hopes for the future.
