'The fictional story takes place in an unnamed Western democracy, sometime in the recent past, or in the near future — or maybe even today.

'They make up 40% of the population of London, and everyone seems to be talking about them. But what do the capital’s migrants say about themselves?

'My Journey showcases the work of London migrants from all over the world, who use a range of media to tell their personal stories, including experiences of immigration detention and homelessness, the triumph of settling in, and candid observations about London life.

'Visitors are invited to browse comic strips, listen to audio stories, watch short films and view medium format, tintype and digital photographs produced by the group.'
