Popis: This article addresses the role of audiovisual expression and creativity workshops (music, video, photography) during the “Curing the Limbo” project for adult refugees in social integration. Audiovisual workshops and the producedartworks contribute to the discussion of the ephemeral, complex, yet dynamically shifting notions of refugee belonging andidentity within the current historical and sociopolitical context. Here the focus is on the photography workshop, whereparticipants worked systematically on ideas and the themes of “self” and “home” through visual storytelling. Lookingthrough the lens of their photographic and linguistic artworks and referring to discourses on art and migration, the articleexamines whether and how the processes unfolding within the workshops opened up new possibilities and perceptions ofidentity and belonging, potentially shaping counternarratives of forced migration © Evangelia Kourti, Maria Pesli, Published by Common Ground Research Networks.Attribution License, (CC BY 4.0)
