The UK Guantánamo Network, in collaboration with Amnesty International UK, proudly presents Don’t Forget Us Here – an exhibition of art created by former* Guantánamo Bay detainees, shedding light on the injustice of indefinite detention without trial or charge.
The pieces in this exhibition offer a rare and personal insight into the lives of those who suffered, and are a call to remember their experiences and the ongoing fight for justice.
Please join us on Thu 5 Dec, 6pm for the opening evening, to engage with the art and to stand in solidarity with those whose voices have been silenced for too long.
Mansoor Adayfi, former Guantánamo Bay prisoner and the coordinator of CAGE International‘s Guantánamo project, will be guest of honour. The exhibition’s title is drawn from his memoir.
This exhibition is not only a space for art, but also a platform for raising awareness about the human rights violations that have occurred in Guantánamo Bay and the continued struggles for justice and accountability.
This event is a not-for-profit initiative, organised entirely through the support of charitable donations and volunteer efforts. No one involved in the event, including the artists, is receiving payment. All contributions are dedicated to the success of the event and the cause it supports.
