Millennium Fellowship Project: Stories in Motion
Our project focused on creating an investigative research report on the Franco-Italian border focusing on the migration crisis in the region through regular border permanence. It included articles on relevant news and developments surrounding the border, especially as the city of Ventimiglia continues to expand commercial development. We also included testiomonies from our border permanence project, where we conducted interviews at the border and collected data on who gets pushed back and why. We then compiled this information into a gallery which we exhibited on our campus, sharing stories to shed light on the people behind the statistics.
