SlideFest
Saturday 11 October 2025 | 2.00PM – 3.15PM
Peterborough Museum

SlideFest spotlights the work of four photographers whose powerful visual storytelling explores first-generation migration—both economic and conflict-related.
Through image-led presentations, each photographer will share stories of migration that begin with departure: Why do people leave? What do they encounter along the way? And how do they build lives in unfamiliar places?

Photographers: Hicham Gardaf, Kalpesh Lathigra, Amak Mahmoodian, Chris Neophytou

This intimate two-hour event will trace personal and collective journeys from displacement to arrival, offering a deeper look into the lived experiences of those who’ve shaped diverse communities. Through photography and conversation, SlideFest invites audiences to reflect on the stories behind the images—and the people behind the stories.

The Table a new play written by Aisha Zia and directed by Suba Das
14 – 16 October 2025
The Key Theatre, Peterborough

Complementing the Bridging Landscapes II exhibition at Peterborough Museum, The Table invites audiences to gather around and take part in urgent, heartfelt conversations. What does it take to become a refugee, migrant, or asylum seeker today?

Developed from real interviews with first-generation economic and war migrants in Bournemouth and Peterborough, this bold new play is made to be broken—and put back together. A raw, collaborative performance that holds space for listening, dialogue, and collective reflection.

Presented by 62 Gladstone Street in partnership with Landmark Theatres.
Tickets: £8 / £4 concessions / Free for refugees, migrants and asylum seekers.
Booking via the Key Theatre website
Because everyone deserves a seat at the table.
