Shortlisted for the Compas Visual Arts Competition!

November 16, 2014

I am delighted to have been shortlisted for the Compas Visual Arts Competition depicting the experience of migration in Sahrawis in the occupied Western Sahara.

The berm.The Moroccan Wall of Western Sahara is an approximately 2,700 km-long structure, mostly a sand wall (or "berm"), running through Western Sahara and the southeastern portion of Morocco. It separates the Moroccan-controlled areas (Southern Provinces) and the Polisario-controlled Free Zone (nominally Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic) that lies along its eastern and southern border.

Known as ‘the Berm’, the wall was constructed by the Moroccans from sand and stone to keep the Polisario Front, the Western Sahara liberation movement, out of the territory and prevent the 165,000 Saharawi refugees from returning to their land. Standing at around 3 metres in height, the wall runs through the desert and is fortified with barbed-wire fencing, artillery posts and one of the highest densities of land mines in the world. - See more information here and on my .
