Being (im)mobile in a world of movement: a visual exploration of migratory experiences

What’s on offer?

A 30 day exhibit showcasing the lived experience of Migration

What’s it about?

The proposed exhibition explores the contributions of social sciences to the understanding of migration as a set of lived experiences. While the highly politicised topics of migration governance, restrictive border regimes and human rights are regularly discussed in the media, very little is known about the everyday life of mobile people themselves. The exhibition, intended for a wider public, will bring together cutting-edge research on migration conducted at the School of Social Sciences (University of Manchester) through a focus on visual materials and story-telling to address what it means to be moving or staying put when everyone around is moving.
