Somewhere to Stay
Somewhere to Stay: Exploring Migration and Forced Displacement Through Art Opening on the 29th March, Callendar House will host Somewhere To Stay, a moving art exhibition by Diana Forster. Conceived in dialogue with the University of St Andrews’ Visualising War and Peace project, the exhibition tells the true story of how Diana Forster’s mother, Anna Sokulska Forster, was forced to leave her home in eastern Poland during World War II. After being sent to Siberian labour camps by Russian soldiers, Anna’s long journey to safety took her through Uzbekistan, Iran, and East Africa before finally settling in the UK.
