\u00c0 tous les clandestins<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project addresses the contemporary phenomenon of migration, with a focus on the route from the west African coast to the Canary Islands. Its purpose is to record and document, through wall prints, photographs and videos, the written testimonies left by these men and women in transit, thus paying homage to their memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please, Don\u2019t Paint The Wall, 2014<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This video documents the process of cleaning the pavilion known as CHARLIE at the Immigration Detention Centre (CIE) in Fuerteventura, during which the messages and drawings left on the walls were first revealed and later logged. The cells in the CHARLIE pavilion, the largest of the seven that make up the CIE, had been whitewashed, so all the testimonies left on the walls were covered by coats of paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please, Don\u2019t Paint The Wall, 2016 (selection)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This archive records the testimonies left on the walls of the pavilions at the CIE in Fuerteventura. It consists of a total of 640 photos which show drawings, poetry, messages with dates and names, and texts in Arabic, Wolof, Spanish, English and French, primarily describing the experience of the journey. The texts accompanying the photos were translated into Spanish by Mohssine Rezgaoui and Khalid Chaoui.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
