We Gather - Migration Matters Festival 2024
Migration Matters Festival is Britain’s largest festival about Sanctuary and refugees. It creates a platform to champion the voices of people who are so often muted, pigeon-holed into labels and rarely genuinely offered a chance to shape in the cultural and artistic landscape of the cities they live in. Dig Where You Stand is proud to have a longstanding relationship with the festival and we will be returning again this year.
Join us for an exclusive first insight into the new stories and artwork that will displayed in our upcoming summer exhibition (Jul 20th - Aug 18th). Hear from commissioned artists Wemmy Ogunyankin, Rosa Cisneros, Asma Kabadeh and Najma Heybe, who will share their experiences of working in the archives, discovering new stories and producing creative responses in the form of photography, dance and audio.
Artists will also be joined by DWYS Creative Director, Désirée Reynolds, and Senior Archivist Cheryl Bailey, to provide updates on what to expect from the exhibition and accompanying events between July and August 2024.

Biennial 2024
There has not been anything like this done in South Yorkshire before, not at this scale. The Biennial is more than an arts exhibition, it is a reclamation. An act of memory recovery and a rennarration of the region’s racial history. Dig Where You Stand is an archival justice movement that has partnered with Sheffield City Archives, The Centre for Equity & Inclusion and Peter & Paul to bring you this powerful and necessary intervention.
