The publication is the result of a three-day workshop with the Swedish Institute Academy for Young Professionals (SAYP), held at the University of Gothenburg in May 2024. The workshop focused on problematic media portrayals of migration and integration in the Baltic Sea Region, the Eastern Partnership, and the Western Balkans. Using news articles from their respective countries and other printed media, participants combined theoretically-informed tools for media analysis with arts-based methods to create new works.
This work consists of deconstruction and reconstruction of media in text form, as well as a representation in the form of a collage created using arts-based methods.
The results of the workshop are presented in an (unpublished book) as well as in an exhibition format.
