"Natasha Reid weaves architecture, art practice, human rights advocacy and participatory methods in this deliberate re-construction of the ‘typology’ of the Embassy building. "
Dr. Áine O'Brien, Co-Director, Counterpoints Art
The Embassy for Refugees is an art-architecture project by Natasha Reid exploring the concept of sanctuary and providing ambassadorial status to a humanitarian issue. The pavillion was commissioned as a socially-engaged artwork to form the central focus of Refugee Week 2013, and hosted the UN High Commission for Refugees. It held a programme of talks on the subject of sanctuary, performances and debate.
