Visual Anthropology: A Photographic Documentary of the Uyghur Diaspora in Sweden and Japan
Faculty Sponsor: Evelyn Hu DeHart
Madeleine examined the lives of Uyghur asylum-seekers and refugees in Japan and Sweden through the medium of photography. Madeleine’s projects aimed to humanize the asylum-seeking process by documenting aspects of the private and public lives of Uyghur people as they negotiated the complex and challenging process of seeking to start a life in countries that have distinct policies towards multi-culturalism and immigrants.
