 Migrant Voice - The Liminal Space: A Photographic Exploration of Life in Home Office Accommodations

Migrant Voice's report, “No Rest. No Security”, exposed dire conditions in UK Home Office hotels where asylum seekers are placed, enduring inadequate housing, financial support, and uncertainty.

To shine a light on their frustrations, and amplify their own stories, asylum seekers collaborated with Migrant Voice on a photography project.

These photos capture unseen moments, revealing an emotional side to an often-politicised conversation, and reclaiming asylum seekers’ agency. From park walks to shared meals, the series portrays resilience amidst adversity, inviting viewers to empathise with asylum seekers' daily struggles.

Through film photography, a frozen glimpse of life in limbo emerges, aiming to foster understanding and connection amid hardship.
