An exhibition of a portrait series focusing on the lives of women who have been forcibly displaced in Jordan and are awaiting
Rayna Carruthers, a photographer from Glasgow, lived in Jordan from 2022-2023. Over that year, she took women’s portraits, heard their stories and learned about the conflicts which had forced them to flee.
This exhibition speaks not only to the lives of these women in Jordan but also seeks to raise awareness around the inhumane and discriminatory asylum laws here in the UK and the role that Western countries and the climate crisis are playing in exacerbating forced displacement worldwide.
