Developed in partnership between Bradford 2025 and Counterpoints Arts, this event will bring together artists, activists, community groups and health & wellbeing professionals, to explore the role of art and creativity in supporting the wellbeing of refugees and asylum seekers.

Counterpoints Arts supports the arts by and about refugees and migrants and works at the intersection of climate justice, racial justice, mental health and displacement. Our arts, refugees and mental health programme connects people and organisations across different disciplines and facilitates collaboration and shared learning.

A City of Sanctuary since 2010, Bradford nurtures a culture of welcome and safety for migrant communities.

The event will be free to attend.
