A new art exhibition titled “Don’t forget us here” will showcase the works of Mansoor Adayfi, a former Guantanamo Bay detainee and the current CAGE International Guantanamo Project Coordinator, in London. This exhibition will highlight the issues surrounding indefinite detention without trial and will be held at Rich Mix in Shoreditch from December 5, 2024, to January 5, 2025. The opening event, which starts at 6 PM on December 5, features Adayfi as the guest of honour. This initiative is organised by the UK Guantánamo Network, in collaboration with Amnesty International UK.

The exhibition seeks to raise awareness of the injustices of indefinite detention, particularly as experienced by detainees at Guantanamo Bay, many of whom remain held without trial for extended periods. The works displayed will reflect the experiences and voices of those affected by such policies, encouraging public dialogue and empathy towards the plight of detainees. This collaboration between advocacy groups aims to foster understanding and support for the rights of individuals facing wrongful detention.

The “Don’t forget us here” exhibition aims to bring attention to the injustices of indefinite detention, with a focus on the artwork of Mansoor Adayfi. Scheduled for December 5, 2024, the event promises to engage the public in critical discussions about human rights and detention practices. It serves not only as an artistic showcase but also as a call to action for awareness and understanding of these pressing issues.
