Over recent years, hundreds of thousands of people have crossed the Mediterranean to Italy as part of what has come to be known as Europe’s ‘migration crisis’. An intensification of controls on international population movements has taken place both at sea and after arrival.

It serves to document the ongoing crisis through the experiences of newly arrived migrants and refugees.
