This photo exhibit and series of conferences explore the long history of migration in Europe and tracks the materialization of increasingly hostile migration policies in Europe. In the past twenty years, hardline immigration policies have changed the physical, cultural, and political landscapes in Europe. Presenters will talk about the British handling of borders outside national limits; security infrastructure and confinement; incarceration, violence and the politics of deterrence; old and new networks of solidarity in France, Italy, and Germany; representations of migration in France, Germany, and Italy.
