This International Women's Day, Brown Girl Magazine will be screening two powerful short documentaries on female migrant voices. 

Through the power of storytelling, their journeys, albeit different, run parallel in survival, empowerment and identity.

After both screenings take place, there will be a chance for audience members to share their stories or poetry during an open mic session over chai and snacks.

Runs from 6pm to 9pm.

You still have time to see the Ukrainian textile exhibit held at the Rose Theatre Café.

Organised by local Polish curator Magdalena Glowacka, the show's five tapestries have seen contributions from 180 individuals across the world, most of them migrants or refugees who have had to flee their home countries.

A number of contributors are Kingston locals who attend Ariadne's Thread, a weekly community group that meets at Baking Ideas in nearby Tolworth.

Described by Mayor Cllr Diane White as "fostering understanding, empathy, and unity" within the borough, the exhibition is a must-see.

Flowers We Give To Ukraine will run until 15 March at Rose Theatre Café.
