12th June 2025 - Art Group, Community Meal
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Refugee Festival Scotland, and we’re proud to celebrate it with two special events at CWIN!
First, the CWIN Art Group led by Christina Kyriakidou has organised an art exhibition called "Collective Milestones" at Transmission Gallery. The show features a 10-metre collaborative painting and personal works by members of our community -- including asylum seekers and refugees -- highlighting creativity, resilience, and shared stories. We’re grateful for Transmission Gallery’s continued support, providing space, materials, and artist-led workshops!
