Over 70 young refugees invite you to hear their extraordinary stories – told through art, film, poetry, performance, and new digital media.
See the immense changes they’ve endured, and the hopeful new lives they’re building in New Zealand.
To create our exhibition, Te Papa facilitated a series of workshops around the country to enable young refugees to record the joys and difficulties of their experiences so far.
