  • Enclave of roma gypsies in Kosovo, outskirts of Pristina. The roma are heavily discriminated with no access of health, housing,education and employment.

  • The majority of refugees that arrive in the Uk are offered provisional housing, vouchers to buy food and are not allowed to seek employment.  This situation meant to be temporary often takes years to settle.  Many kosovan families even after years do not know whether they have their right to stay permanently in the UK.  Refugees see themselves as living in a limbo, unable to look for work and to move freely.  Often the bond between their community is the only attachment that they form, partly because of their common plight and partly because of a need to ascertain their cultural identity.

  • Vera, Kosovo refugee in her temporary accomodation in East London. The majority of refugees that arrive in the Uk are offered provisional housing, vouchers to buy food and are not allowed to seek employment.  This situation supposed to be temporary often takes years to settle, so many like Vera even after 5 years still do not know whether they have their right to stay permanently. Many  see themselves as living in a limbo, unable to look for work and to move freely.  Often the bond between the community of refugees is strong supported by the need to keep some of their culture and costumes alive.
