Migrate: Free Movement of Workers
Performance, The Drawing Project, Castlefield Gallery, Manchester
Live performance, projection, rubber stamps, paper on board
2014

In January 2014 EU restrictions on the free movement of workers from Bulgaria and Romania were lifted causing political concern in the UK over an influx of migrants.

A line that shows the overland route from Bulgaria and Romania to the UK is projected onto the wall of the gallery, providing a channel where arrows and numbers are repetitively stamped in a live performance, creating flows back and forth across the space.
