About the project

Locus - an art project with refugees, asylum seekers and members of the local community from Portsmouth. Artists Ania Bas & Les Monaghan were in residence at Portsmouth Friendship Centre for a year working with the participants to explore their personal LOCUS.

The residency took place between October 2009 and September 2010.

Some of the works developed during the residency continue their post-project life. This blog is being updated with any news on where the work can be seen, played, encountered. If you are interested in learning more contact Ania on aniabas{at}gmail{dot}com

Asylum Seekers game - resource for schools under way

Ania and Les are working on Asylum Seekers Game as a downloadable resource for schools, groups etc. Shortly you will be able to download the game and slide show to go with it and use it in many contexts - not only for education!

Meantime if you are looking for a good resource explore Myth Buster produced by Social Inclusion Unit at Plymouth City Council.
