class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Women of the World was run by the Hive community centre in Ipswich and led by professional photographer Gillian Allard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">She worked with seven women, from Ukraine, Afghanistan and Tanzania, to explore creative ways to express their outlook of their new home town in Suffolk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Ms Allard said: &#8220;It was for them to explore identity in a way that&#8217;s fun and playful, so they could forget about what&#8217;s going on on the outside and just enjoy their time together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"col-body mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger
