DESCRIPTION:Undocumented migrants in the UK are currently the subject of 
 tough government rhetoric and abrasive action\, accompanied by a pernici
 ous media debate. Faced by an ongoing and aggressive set of legislative 
 and policy changes\, the position of undocumented migrants is increasing
 ly insecure\, with efforts mounting to step up enforcement against this 
 group. In a collaborative project\, the Centre for Criminology at The Un
 iversity of Manchester\, The Migrant Rights Network\, and TiPP ask: ‘Wha
 t are the experiences of undocumented migrants in the UK? What problems 
 do they face in negotiating the system? And what is being done to suppor
 t them?’\n\nA series of discussion groups were held with migrant communi
 ty organisations\, migrant campaign groups and professionals working wit
 h undocumented migrants. These discussions were documented by local visu
 al artist\, Paul Gent\, resulting in a deeply moving and evocative set o
 f images depicting the struggles and challenges faced by undocumented mi
 grants in the UK and the people who work with them. \n\nLaunch event: Se
 ptember 2nd\, 6-7pm: meet the artist and the research team.
