VUB-researcher in the picture 🔎 “In society, people without legal residency are often quickly seen as a threat. I turn the question around: what about their feelings of insecurity?" says researcher Floris Liekens from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Together with the organization 'La Voix des Sans Papiers,' Floris is conducting a participatory research into the feelings of insecurity among undocumented individuals in Brussels. People feel safe in places where they feel welcome, but how does that change for those without residency rights, who are officially allowed nowhere? Which spaces offer them a sense of security? These questions are central to Floris's research. This weekend, his work will come to life through an exhibition that vividly captures the experiences of undocumented individuals. Hosted in a space occupied by ‘La Voix des Sans Papiers', the exhibition is co-curated by people without legal residency, making their perspectives and stories tangible.
