First they ignore you…..

“First there ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

These images are based around a statement made by Mahatma Gandhi, and trace the experiences of people who have come to live in Northern Ireland. Some have come from the Caribbean, from African or Middle Eastern countries, and some from India. The experience is universal.

It is my hope that, by showing what happens to us, we can engage more people to join the allies we already have.

When exhibited, these images of human beings are accompanied by short statements from the British Medical Association and the Runnymede Trust published research on racism, and posts from X (then Twitter) to illustrate the backdrop against which we work.
