Towards
a Promised Land
An installation made collaboratively with asylum seekers
and other migratory families
Margate, England
July 2005–July 2006
Towards a Promised Land involves a diverse range of young
people who have arrived on the Isle of Thanet from different parts
of England and beyond. Working with Wendy Ewald, the children learn,
through photography, to explore and understand their worlds and
express their experiences of relocation and the search for a better
life. Ewald has taken black-and-white portraits of the children
and the possessions they have brought with them, evocative of the
homes and lives they have left behind, whether in Belarussia, Belfast,
Manchester, or the Congo. The portraits will be enlarged and displayed
as banners in locations around Margate from July 2005 to July 2006.
A book resulting from the exhibition, Towards
a Promised Land, will be published by Steidl Verlag in December
2006.
