Case Study

“allowing the participants, the users and/or the performers to shape them and create content through their own responses, behaviours or opinions.”

Alicja Rogalska is a polish female photographer which is Uk based and has done a photoshoot/film based around agricultural workers and their working conditions.

Her work specialises in working alongside local specialists such as farmers; here she uses her platform to allow the workers voices to be heard which sparks talks and helps start change to create better conditions for workers.

“Some of the most significant improvements to working conditions can only be made through legislative changes. Ensuring safe, non-exploitative and attractive working conditions for migrant labour is something that will be welcomed by farmers and worker alike."

Labour of migrant workers have been an essential part of this island for over 150 years; however this has been hardly documented which is why Rogalska started this project.
