Following her experience volunteering in the French port city of Calais, Mathilda Della Torre started Conversations from Calais. Its aim is to re-humanise those affected by the refugee crisis, sharing conversations volunteers have had with migrants met in Calais. It is a way of bearing witness for the thousands of displaced people stuck in Calais and trying to reach the UK, whose voices are so often silenced or ignored.
This ever-growing collection of conversations focuses on capturing the diversity of experiences and avoids creating new stereotypes of refugees as villains, heroic figures or hopeless victims.
