Celebrate love and diversity at Refugee Valentine

LOVE is in the air!

A line up of local musicians, Yamaya (Afrobeat Funk Fusion) and Alaa (Oud and vocals from Syria) will bring the music of their international origins to create a night that defies categorisation as either global or local.

West African chefs will cook a celebratory feast served on big platters for 4-6 people so that strangers can eat together to share the love.

Refugee Valentine celebrates love and diversity.

Refugee Valentine will take love beyond monogamous pairings to begin rebuilding a community that celebrates difference.

Refugee Valentine is organised by Brighton Migrant Solidarity (BMS) and Thousand For Thousand (T4K) to celebrate love and diversity.

LOVE IS POLITICAL – It’s our differences that bring us together.
