Escaping the reality of war, and enduring its trauma – caught between the war of indifference and empathy – the story of refugees are often forgotten or made invisible. This narrative void presents a challenge to refugees attempting to settle and flourish. Archaeology of Memory is an exhibition that attempts to fill this narrative void by telling the stories of refugees and asylum seekers, suspended between conflict and political rhetoric.
