Spanning two venues across the Thames, Encampment is a season of events at Somerset House and the South Bank about the refugee crisis. On the South Bank, Good Chance theatre's iconic dome arrives direct from the camps at Calais to host games and talks to bring refugees' voices and stories to London.
At Somerset House, an installation of tents and wooden shelters (to be delivered to Calais after the exhibition) is the setting for a VR experience created by volunteers and refugees. Both installations are free; the VR experience, called The Machine To Be Another is available noon-2pm and 4pm-6pm daily. For talks and events on the South Bank, visit the website.
