This powerful exhibition is the result of a culmination of a photo project run as part of a PhD in Social Policy and a SWDTP – funded placement at a local refugee and third sector organisation.
Ten asylum seekers/refugees took part by taking photographs of what makes their lives easier and happy, or what makes their lives harder and unhappy. The images and meanings behind them were shared as part of a group discussion.
The projects tests the use of image mixed with narrative as both a data collection tool and a form of political advocacy.
