Migrations - A Field Study of Adversity

Please note, Duff House is unexpectedly closed until Friday 2 February.

Wildlife artist Derek Robertson fills the Long Gallery at Duff House with images drawn from the themes of migration, climate change, and the struggle to survive in an adverse world. Robertson realised that the routes of birds and refugees often followed close parallels. He travelled through Europe to the Middle East, sketching,volunteering and teaching art activities in refugee camps and transit points.

This series of paintings draws together topics of refugee crisis and climate change, depicting birds as environmental indicators and as metaphore for people.
