In this episode, Caroline Burraway talks about why and how she has given voice to those disenfranchised and displaced on the margins of society, how she has focused recently on refugees like Tarik and Eden whom she has met in refugee camps and of whom she has made large-scale prize-winning drawings, about her Ungrievable Lives project in which she made children’s dresses out of lifejackets and her installations derived from the current war in Ukraine.
