Solidarity with migrants





Miscommunication, vulnerability and ignorance resulting from translation and migration seemed to appear most in recent discussions, workshops, seminars and events organised both in conjunction as well as outside of the Lecture from behind the screen. And so Direct Speech Acts: Solidarities organised in the Centre for Possible Studies started with the distribution of leaflets informing about migrant's rights and instructions on how a witness may help someone stopped by the officer. Though many may be well informed about their rights, they remain unknown if not ignored by many foreigners. Their rights in their home country can sometimes be ridiculously different to those which apply in the UK.
