The suffering of Jesus through images and stories of today's refugees

The Stations is an artistic project reflecting on the Stations of the Cross and the suffering of Jesus through images and stories of today's refugees. The Stations is a photographic exhibition in the Foyer of St Martin-in-the-Fields until Sunday 10 April 2016.

The traditional ‘stations of the cross’ are a series of 14 images depicting the stages of Christ’s journey on Good Friday.

This unique photographic study by creative director Marksteen Adamson, in collaboration with Premier Christianity magazine, is a parallel journey retold through the lives and stories of the refugees he met and befriended in Calais, Lebanon and the UK.

Adamson reinterprets these stages of Jesus’ own experience of suffering and persecution as seen through the lives and stories of the refugees Adamson has met and become friends with during trips to Calais, Lebanon and within the UK.

This powerful exhibition seeks to reinterpret an ancient series of images that have spoken for centuries to those who have themselves experienced suffering. Christ’s journey of pain and sacrifice is a universal one played out in the suffering of people from different faith backgrounds and captured in stark and arresting ways through the stories of a modern humanitarian crisis.
