ABOUT PROJECT
Missing Migrants of the Mediterranean
Missing Migrants of the Mediterranean share the stories of Tunisia’s missing migrants and their families’ voices through data visualization works created by students at the School of Information. The exhibition is part of a collaborative action research project by members of The School of Social Work, School of Information, Alfred Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, and Association La Terre Pour Tout.
Context & Details
“When you talk about humanity and talk about democracy, it is all a lie so long as this [plight] exists in the world. Europe and Tunisia always mouth off empty slogans – democracy, human rights, respect for people – and in front of their eyes is a graveyard, but they did not even do a thing—this is global falsehood.”
