Saturday 15 September and Sunday 16 September
Drop-in to the New Room’s Broadmead Courtyard anytime between 11am – 4pm.
The New Room have teamed up with The Channel Arts Project to host a weekend event aimed at starting a conversation about how we will end immigration detention. Join us in the Broadmead Courtyard on 15-16 September to step inside a phone booth to listen to voice messages from people in UK immigration detention centres. Send messages back and forth. Meet others in Bristol who want to learn about detention and discuss how we can end it.
The Venue
The New Room is the oldest Methodist building in the world. Visit our new Museum to discover more about the people living in the eighteenth century who inspired a generation to be active in campaigning for social justice and be inspired to make a change in our world today.
“The Heritage of the past is the seed that brings forth the harvest of the future.” Wendell Phillips
How? What Happens?
Enter the phone booth and listen. When you’re ready, ask a question, offer an answer, share a thought, a feeling, a memory, an idea… Then come back and listen again.
We host a friendly tea-and-biscuits table beside the booth where you can reflect and talk or write. You’ll meet others who want to create an alternative to a hostile immigration system.
