Mixing the blood of thousands: Artist Marc Quinn on his most ambitious project yet

Special Correspondent and Presenter

It is the artist Marc Quinn’s most ambitious project to date. And that’s saying something.

The aim is to raise awareness – and cash – to support their plight.

“Our Blood” mixes the blood of thousands of people – half of them refugees.

Fatima Manji has been to meet him at his studio.
