Nine artists from regions impacted by conflict will undertake residencies across Britain as part of a new programme initiated by the British Council.
Participants include Yasmine Rifaii, an artist from Lebanon, and will come from countries including Ukraine, Lebanon, Yemen, and Palestine.
Just as the British Council was established in 1934 to support artists and creatives in countries across the world in the face of political danger, we continue this mission today.
The programme, which runs until July next year, is designed to support artists and cultural professionals whose work has been impacted by war.
