Photographer Sarah Hickson made a number of visits to the Calais Camps in France to document a unique music project organised by cellist Vanessa Lucas–Smith who wanted to show a different side of the camp.
The result was the album The Calais Sessions and Hickson’s exhibition Sounds Unseen. Sarah Hickson will discuss her time in the ‘Jungle’, an illegal home for 10,000 refugees which was disbanded in 2016.
Chair: Judy Murphy, journalist.
