Abstract
With the collaboration of Praxis Community Projects and Shpresa Programme, a series of photography workshops were conducted with young people from different backgrounds who have gone through similar experiences of migration. Many of these people came to the UK on their own as children, without their family. Their images narrate the difficult and continuous journey they make, and the life changing transitions that this journey entailed. It is a journey without a clear point of departure or arrival - or a clear sense of direction – but which brings multiple transformations and transitions along the way. People have to negotiate completely different cultural, social and political environments and, most importantly, the constraints of an exclusionary asylum system that has profound effects on their everyday lives. These young people often live with the terrifying uncertainty of not knowing what will happen to them or whether they will be returned to the country from which they have fled.
