'Undocumented' marks 10 years of Doctors of the World UK's pioneering East London health clinic for migrants and asylum seekers through an intimate exhibition of patients and volunteers portraits
About
This September, Doctors of the World UK, will mark the 10-year anniversary of its pioneering East London health clinic for vulnerable people with an intimate exhibition of portraits at the Four Corners Gallery, London.
Portraits include Sarah, a HIV-positive South African woman and one of the first people to come to the clinic in 2006, and ‘Tavish’, a young Sri Lankan who was forced to leave his country after being tortured due to suspected links to the Tamil Tigers. A portrait of Lord Rogers, the world-renowned architect and a Doctors of the World Founding Board Member, will also be on display.
Some of the country's best photographers lent their skills to the exhibition, including:
Kate Peters;
Mark Sherratt;
Jenny Lewis;
Alina Negoita;
Holly Falconer;
Julian Anderson;
Toby Coulson; and
Trent McMinn.
Portraits include Sarah, a HIV-positive South African woman and one of the first to come to the clinic in 2006, and Tavish (pictured), a young Sri Lankan forced to leave his country after being tortured due to suspected links to the Tamil Tigers.
The exhibition comes at an important time, with the UK's post-Brexit climate increasing hostility towards migrants and refugees.
