Reframing Migration

Exhibition  /  7 March — 29 March 2025

‘Reframing Migration’ by Ieva Baltaduonyte, critically examines how lexical choices in four major UK newspapers contribute to the depersonalisation of “irregular migrants”, often reducing them to faceless statistics or negative stereotypes. By juxtaposing migrant portraits with linguistic analysis conducted by I-CLAIM researchers, the project highlights the disconnect between how migration is framed in the media and how it is experienced by individuals. It challenges the dehumanisation of migrants as mere items, emphasising that migration is not just a crisis but an inherently natural phenomenon involving regular people.
