Human face of British immigration
Immigration in the UK is far more complex than sensationalist tabloid articles and fear mongering politicians would have you believe.
Local Foreigners tells real stories of the people behind the headlines — individuals who are far more than the sum of political currency, frightening photos and clickbait tropes.
Rethinking the representation of Immigrants in the UK
The media’s depiction of migration is all too often dangerously reductive and leaves many individuals defined by stereotype.
In reality people that choose to migrate are highly skilled workers, students, artists and family members to name just a few — millions of people with deeply complex stories.
Local Foreigners aims to reclaim the narrative and explore what it truly means to be an immigrant in the United Kingdom.
Showcasing diverse stories
Local Foreigners offers tailored exhibitions to museums and festivals, helping bring communities closer together through a deeper understanding of migrant experiences. The portraits and stories of migration help the migrant community feel seen and appreciated by integrating their experiences into the local area's history and culture.
