“

My passion for the defence of academic freedom has been growing since
working with CARA on a commission in 2012 entitled The Space
Between in which I worked with four refugee academic women who had
been exiled from their countries because of their beliefs and commitment
to speaking out against injustice and who sought refuge in the UK.
Meeting the women and getting to know them and finding out about
their lives has inspired me to work with other displaced people.
This image expresses my desire for academic freedom and for the
ability of all oppressed people to escape their cages, whatever these
may be.
