This exhibition brings together art works and archival material by an array of both celebrated and lesser-known German-born refugee artists, principally from the Ben Uri Collection, supplemented by important external loans from both public and private lenders. Paintings, posters, prints, drawings, cartoons, book illustrations and sculptures explore issues of identity and migration via the German refugee experience in England, with oral testimonies from three generations of German migrants.
