Glastonbury's Green Fields welcomed Bristol Refugee Artists Collective (BRAC) in 2025 to create two powerful banners that reflect and promote cross-cultural understanding.
Incorporating personal styles, techniques, and messages through their work, the resulting pieces convey a strong message of solidarity with the suffering in Sudan and underscore the importance of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers in the UK.
Seeing Glastonbury for the first time, BRAC guide us through this year's festival.
