This week, we are focusing on the Who Are We? Project, part of the Tate Exchange Programme, held last month in London.
The coming together of arts, activism and academia through the Who Are We? installation in the Tate Exchange is a powerful way to communicate the everyday realities of ‘hostile environment’ policies towards migrants and asylum seekers. After attending the symposium on The Politics of Un-Belonging, organised by academics from The Open University, PhD student and filmmaker Anna Colom produced this one minute video to show the obstacles that challenge the daily lives of many people in the UK. It follows the floor trail mapping what ‘hostile environment’ policies – visually narrated through the recent Liberty publication. The trail is complemented with the audio of Selina Nwulu’s spoken word.

As the world turns its attention to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a major new Open University research project has secured £201,665 from the Swiss National Science Foundation to examine how football crowds, police forces and stadium authorities interact during high-profile matches and how these interactions can be managed more safely and effectively across Europe.
