Supporting refugees

10:58am Tuesday 22nd June 2004

TAMIL dancers swung their hips in support of Refugee Week.

Youngsters from the Downham Tamil Association gave the performance in the Gallery Square of the Horniman Museum, London Road, Forest Hill.

And there was a lively performance by a group of folk musicians from Albania and Kosovo called The Illyrians.

The performances were one of several events hosted by the museum to celebrate the contribution refugees make to their communities.

Other highlights included an exhibition of photographs by Jenny Matthews documenting the lives of women who have found themselves in some of the world's biggest refugee crises.
