DESCRIPTION:This lecture performance will present art by and about the mig
 rant\, created in workshops run for detainees awaiting deportation from th
 e UK. Documentary photography\, drawings\, testimonies\, video\, and inter
 views\, digitized for the Immigration Detention Archive at Oxford is the b
 asis of this art-research. The presentation will include parts of a play w
 ritten and directed using material from the forthcoming book\, including c
 ollages\, shadow puppets\, and film.\n\nIn the study of migration art has 
 been relegated to therapy and social work\, and in turn art history and cr
 iticism typically categorizes it as Outsider Art. Yet in this study of the
  effects of indeterminate detention on subjectivity\, visual art contribut
 es to social and aesthetic demands as well as providing forensic evidence 
 for criminologists of human suffering. It is an artist's perspective on th
 e perversity of the institutions\, the power of its bureaucracy\, and a ne
 cessary abstraction of censored material.\n\nBiography\n\nKhadija von Zinn
