Exhibition: Families Belong Together
(Fri 13-Thu 26 Mar)
Families Belong Together stems from a research project conducted by Reunite Families UK (RFUK) between 2022 and 2025, exploring the impact of the UK’s spouse/partner migration rules - some of the harshest in the world.
Having heard from children, couples, families and professionals about how the rules impact people’s lives, RFUK found that these rules undermine the mental health of families and children, make them financially insecure and remove from them what all of us consider a basic human right: loving whomever we choose, regardless of our passport or income. Many couples face long-term separation or exile due to the rules.
Commissioned by RFUK, photographer Frankie Mills documents the lives of 10 couples and families to illustrate the human cost of the spouse/partner migration policy and their sense of being continuously in limbo. This exhibition is linked to a roundtable discusssion with journalists, artists, academics and charity leaders on family migration and reunion, taking place at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities on Wed 25 March as part of the post-doctoral project Loving Across Borders led by Dr. Vanessa Montesi.
