To mark this year’s Refugee Week we are focusing on four artists in The Higgins Bedford’s current exhibition ‘We Are Ten’ who sought safety in this country.
You can see all these works in the exhibition ‘We Are Ten’ until 28th January 2024. The exhibition celebrates ten years since The Higgins Bedford opened its doors following a major redevelopment.
