‘Proud to speak up for them’: New photography project shows young migrants’ experiences

Understanding the experience of young people as they cross borders is the aim of a new project. The GRABS project, funded by the European Research Council, is documenting the lives of migrants, but instead of just talking in an interview with the youngsters, it’s trying to understand their situation and hopes for the future. To do so, the team is using methods like photography exhibitions and podcasts. In Perspective, we spoke to Dr Glenda Santana de Andrade, from the GRABS team and Paris 8 University, and to one of the photographers taking part, Israel Wabikamba, as one of their exhibitions is on display in Durban, South Africa.
