Migration is often framed in a stereotypical way by the media and in politics. This framing leaves too much room for the off-screen and makes it therefore difficult to form a complete and nuanced picture of the topic. Indeed, whether in communication, journalism or photography, framing limits the visual perception while translating the world around us. ‘Hors-champ’ is an invitation to get rid of preconceived ideas and look through other glasses by getting to know what migration is, here in Belgium but also “over there” where reality can be quite different. With the help of photography and social media, the project wants to make this sharing of views more widespread and leave a minimum of room for the “off-screen”!
The project is coordinated by Infor Jeunes Entre-Sambre-&-Meuse ASBL
