Graphic novelists, cartoonists and animators use testimonies of migrants to depict tales of survival and escape across the world in show at Soas Univeristy of London

An award-winning graphic novelist who migrated to the UK from Tripoli, a Pulitzer prize finalist from the Philippines and a director who sought refuge in the UK from Iran are among the animators showcased in an exhibition at Soas University of London, which explores migration through animation and comics.

The Stories of Migration exhibition marks 12 years of PositiveNegatives, a non-profit organisation based at Soas that transforms academic research into visual stories. It is showing a series of videos that tell the stories of migrants from countries including Yemen, Iraq and the Philippines.
