The photographic exhibition Guatemalan forced migration: the politics of
care in representing refugees explores the mechanisms of representation
used for forced migrants that stage appropriate refugee identities to
justify the need for humanitarian care. The exhibition explores these
issues through photo-documentary work with indigenous Guatemalan forced
migrants living in the former refugee camp of La Gloria in the state of
Chiapas in Mexico. The project is a collaboration between photographer,
Manuel Gil, and doctoral research student in Sociology, Óscar F. Gil-García.
The photos and descriptions are now available to view on Forced
Migration Online. The photos are complemented with a podcast in which
Óscar F. Gil-García is interviewed about his work on the project.
