How has a community not officially recognised in the UK, been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic?

This body of work explores how Covid-19 has affected the way in which Latin Americans move in London. It focuses on the experiences of seven Latin Americans and questions if these altered mobilities enact forms of national, ethnic and class identities.

The Latin American community is not officially recognised in the UK and it has been clear, from the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, that it has impacted communities and cultures differently. This project takes these two facts into account, and attempts to represent the experiences of migrants who have developed tactics to adapt to the British culture but have also been faced with the challenges that the pandemic has brought.
