The theme of the 2018 Festival was IDENTITY. We presented a programme of films, performances, talks and workshops exploring what it is that makes us who we are. Themes included gender, sexuality, mental health, disability, nationality, race, and socioeconomic status. The centrepieces of this year's Festival were two exhibitions, in the Glass Tank and just across the Abercrombie Atrium in The Lab.
Troubled Eyes
5 - 23 March 2018
Troubled Eyes, featured the photography of Andrew McNeill. Andrew is a humanitarian photographer concentrating on the human condition. He has worked alongside NGOs throughout Asia and in some of India's worst slums. 15 years ago, Andrew made the first of what was to become countless trips to the Asian continent. Traveling light and with just a camera, he began to seek out the most interesting faces he could find. A copy of his book Under The Bridge is now in the Brookes Library.

Tented Dreams
5 - 23 March 2018
We were honoured to have artwork and artefacts produced by Syrian artists and children who are refugees in the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan working with the UK based charity Souriyat Across Borders. Souriyat is the phonetic spelling in English of the Arabic word for “female Syrians”.
Their four primary objectives are:
Providing physical and occupational rehabilitation for the Syrian war wounded;
Providing humanitarian and medical aid;
Providing education, training, and vocational support;
Empowering vulnerable refugees.
The children’s paintings were done on the canvas of their tents in the refugee camp and some of their statements describe how they feel about being forced to leave the homes they love.
