INTRODUCTION :


Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door !”

Extract from ‘The New Colossus’ by Emma Lazarus, (Inscribed on The Statue of Liberty)


‘Immigrants’, the title of this exhibition is a word that has always been loaded with a meaning and weight beyond the dry dictionary definition. The word is weapon, a political pawn, a tabloid headline, to the point that one might forget that we are dealing with human beings.
