Installation, 2011

This mobile installation and ongoing project has travelled around the metropolitan centres of Europe. Materials posted on its walls have revealed a darker agenda and alluded to ongoing policies in the European Union and its member states that foster deregulation, inequality and discrimination. The artists opened up a platform through the structure to discuss effective measures for establishing equality in favour of marginalised groups, such as the Romani people.
