Resources

Our Resource Library contains a range of digital materials, some of which have been commissioned by Cross Borders. They can be used for reference by artists and activists from refugee and other migrant backgrounds practicing in Scotland, and the cultural organisations that work with them.

Where We Meet

Where We Meet is a good practice resource in care taking and hospitality in the arts and social practice. It has been made for and with artists with lived experience of displacement. It is also for the organisations they/we work with. This resource is a working document commissioned by Cross Borders, a Scottish Refugee Council project.
