Sea of Paperwork is a display of art from workshops which invited young people to explore themes relating to migration, asylum and integration. 

It presents the creative processes behind a printed publication of the same name, and offers an insight into the thoughts and feelings of the participants.

The display includes a series of original artworks created by the young people themselves, alongside a video of the illustration process for the final print. As part of the exhibition we welcome you to leave a comment, and to reflect on the importance of these young contributors' perspectives.

The participatory workshops took place from 2018 to 2019. Previously exhibited at the CCA, the themes discussed within the project are more relevant than ever. Through this exhibition, we continue to create spaces for discussion to highlight the importance of welcoming people in our communities.
