To Walk In Your Shoes
2013
In 2013 Rachael Munro-Fawcett and Redbobble Arts joined together on a unique collaboration to explore the topic of what it means to seek asylum. With constant negative reports in the press surrounding the topic of immigration, 'To Walk In Your Shoes' focuses on the strength and resilience of the human spirit and challenges the myths and untruths perpetuated by the media.
Partnering with relevant charities including including City of Sanctuary and PAFRAS they visited drop ins, community groups and temporary housing to gather research and stories from Syria, Iran, Pakistan, Somalia and Eritrea, recounting peoples experiences of living in the UK.
The photography exhibition and theatre show toured to audiences across the country and was shown at The Lowry Salford, Amnesty International Wakefield, Hope Mill Theatre Manchester, Seven Arts Leeds, RNCM, Theatre Deli Sheffield and New Vic Theatre Stoke.
