Trapped between the fleeing and host countries’ borders, national migration strategies, and international conventions, migrants are often pushed towards unsuited legal systems, while being pulled into dangerous and non-humanitarian pathways to reach safety.

In the framework of the L’Art Rue seminar “The Migrations and borders: issues of migration non-politics” on January 27th, 2023, Steffen Bo Jensen will be addressing questions about why human rights are compromised in the Mediterranean basin and what role migration plays in it, externalization of borders and climate-induced displacement.“Will human dignity still be a parameter for this new world order? I really, really hope so…” Steffen comments.

Steffen will join the conversation with Adnen el Ghali, an architect and urban planner, Valentina Zagaria, Anthropologist and Research Fellow at IRMC and Belgium-based artist Thomas Bellinck known for his work focusing on state-sanctioned violence, the politics of memory, and mobility injustice.

Since 2006, L’Art Rue, a Tunis-based NGO, has dedicated their space to creation, experimentation, and research between culture and practice in the relation to people of Tunis and its democratic challenges.

The event will be conducted in French.
