How has a community that is not officially recognised in the UK, been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic?
This body of work explores the way in which Covid-19 has changed and affected the way in which Latin Americans move in London. It focuses on the experiences of seven Latin Americans and questions if these altered mobilities enact forms of national, ethnic and class identities.
The possibility to ‘stay at home’ and being immobile has shifted the notions of home, privilege, power, and risk since these are dependent upon a number of factors, such as class, race, residency status and more. These altered definitions result in a reimagined social hierarchy where ‘key-workers’ and those considered ‘high risk’ make noticeable “ableism and restrictive notions of health.
As a way to explore this reimagined social hierarchy, I closely collaborated with six Latin Americans to map out their daily journeys across London, and invited them to capture their movements for a week in the summer of 2021.
