Freed Voices are a group of experts-by-experience committed to speaking out about the realities of immigration detention in the UK and calling for reform. Between them, they have lost over 20 years to detention in this country.
As a group with a strong and authentic voice demanding detention reform, Freed Voices has a significant positive impact on how immigration detention is talked about and has managed to attract an increased sense of political urgency for reform, building momentum for change.

The New Union Flag (NUF) project by the artist Gil Mualem-Doron reimagines the Union Flag in a way that reflects the changing society in which we live, acknowledging and celebrating the communities that have contributed to the UK’s cultural legacy. Re-created with fabric designs from all over the world, the New Union Flag transforms the traditional Union Jack from an archetype of uniformity into a dynamic and celebratory on-going performance of diversity. From 2015, the New Union Flag has evolved every few months with the contributions of participants from various national and ethnic backgrounds. For three years it has engaged thousands of people through gallery exhibitions (Turner Contemporary, Tate Modern, the South Bank Centre, People’s History Museum – Manchester, Liverpool Museum), numerous cultural events, school visits, festivals, rallies and workshops.
The New Union Flag project includes portraits and recorded conversations with people who would like to see it adopted as the national flag as well as others who don’t. This publication and exhibition is comprised of extracts from some of these conversations in the form of a series of collages.
