Refugeescapes
One Story, Many Voices is an innovative digital installation project which brought together a group of celebrated writers, local communities, and members of SWWHPP with StoryFutures’ expertise in storytelling in binaural sound. Together they imagined and created immersive sound worlds with diverse voices reflecting on war and conflict and its impact on our lives today. StoryFutures worked with the Imperial War Museum and writers and partners around the country to help realise 8 binaural immersive sound pieces which put the audience at the heart of the story.
by Amina Atiq for the Holocaust Survivors Friendship Association
In this spoken word poem, Amina Atiq evokes the traumatic memories and harsh journeys of stateless refugees who made their way to Yorkshire during the Second World War. This immersive work, informed and inspired by stories collected by the Holocaust Survivors’ Friendship Association based at the University of Huddersfield, transports the listener across the sea to the sounds of North England. Listen to find out how refugees adapted to new surroundings and found employment in textile manufacturing, while carrying with them the memories and traumas of past experiences.
