This interview is under the second theme of the “The Other Stories” podcast series, where we focus on artistic projects globally. Today our guest is the artist Elizabeth Kwant. We talk about her project titled ‘In Transit’ where she performs migrants’ stories in key sites across Europe. Elizabeth Kwant lives and works in Manchester. From 2015 -2019 she founded and curated Zellij Arts, an artist led project exhibiting the work of emerging artists from The Middle East, North Africa and diaspora. Kwant’s work investigates contemporary geo-political issues; migration, immigration, displacement and representation. She has produced and participated in a number of socially engaged arts projects with refugees and asylum seekers in partnership with local organisations.
