Excellent venue. Good view of city screen. Very interesting photographs
Interesting and lovely idea. Nice to get together and show off their work in a way that means something.
Beautiful work, very well presented and a very warm, welcoming and good humoured opening.
Well done. Really like the drawings and paperclip – good sense of fragility.
A very simple but emotive exhibition. Thank you.
I think it is very nice. If you want some think that is easy to write, but how can to find that it is problem!
Interesting show I liked the food.
Fab comments on the phones. Presented well.
Pompey to win the FA Cup again xxx
Great to have a project like this! Molto bello! x
Hope the world is cleaner
A worthwhile investment in time and people. Lovely xx
I think that it is an important exhibition. Get the ‘word’ out that we are all one, with the same needs, wants, sadness & joy no matter what county we are from. Viva locus.
It’s very lovely - Abdul

I have very good fun and nice people. - Karim
Most interesting – a record of an excellent project which we would never have known about. Great to see people in this environment.
It was good to see so many smiling faces!!
I think this project was a good idea! - Noor
An interesting, unexpected, relevant show that explores an area of modern culture that is unfamiliar. Nicely presented but perhaps unfinished – I want personal stories, testimony, more. Would love to be involved.
Great venue to introduce Portsmouth population to a different side of asylum seeking.
Very interesting and thought provoking
Good expose of the subjects – really emotive images. Really like the messages from the ‘mobiles’ and framed photos. Would have like bigger photos! Venue not ideal a bit sterile compared to the warmth of the work….
It is very nice and I had a lovely time here with all this friends and all other people. Thanks Abdulla

English Food for Private View
It was not the traditional Private View. It took place on St George's Day and everyone at the steering group got excited that we can do something fun about it. We celebrated Englishness through eating and drinking English food only, produced within UK borders ONLY.
Idea by Sally and executed by Sally with Clare who did the shopping together. They apparently spent hours going around the shop and reading labels as well as searching for English specialities. Thanks to them we had a great selection of English cheese (with no olives nor pineapples), we drunk English Ales and Ciders (no wine), we had soft drink options (apple juice, apple and blackcurrant juice, apple and beetroot juice) and loads of veg (carrots, cucumbers and peppers) but no humus nor guacamole.
On a train journey back Les and myself were pondering over the limits of the English cuisine nibbling on remaining crackers and apple chutney.
