The works are titled 'Living in Limbo' – A photo voice study of 'The lived realities of HIV positive Forced Migrants (Asylum Seekers and Refugees) from Africa living in Scotland'. Dr Dina Sidhva's says she was moved by the trauma of those refugees facing the twin challenges of dealing with staving off deportation and living with HIV. These photographs vividly portray lives of forced migrants in Scotland, as they await a decision from the Home Office. Sidhva wants viewers to explore the powerful connections between forced migrants (in this case HIV positive asylum seekers and refugees from Africa currently living in Scotland) and society. The works illumine complex human stories that lie behind the phenomenon of migration and seeking asylum, while living with HIV.
