From December 2025 to late January 2026<\/strong>, the bulk of a cooperation project funded by the Fundaci\u00f3 Aut\u00f2noma Solid\u00e0ria (FAS-UAB) and titled \u201cFilm and Migration Workshop: Exploring the Re-territorialization of Venezuelan Migration in Iquique and Alto Hospicio (Tarapac\u00e1, Chile) through Participatory Audiovisual Narratives<\/em><\/strong>\u201d was carried out within the framework of the fieldwork of Consuelo Gonz\u00e1lez-Pavicich. This audio-visual project was implemented in collaboration with the Centro Social, Cultural y Deportivo Venezolano de Iquique (an international immigrant organization) and with Etnocinema, which is devoted to the development of participatory audio-visual methodologies (www.etnocinema.cl).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concretely, two participatory filmmaking workshops<\/strong> were conducted with Venezuelan immigrant women, one in Alto Hospicio and another one in Iquique. Each workshop consisted of triple two-hour sessions, combining reflection on territory and everyday life with a theoretical and practical introduction to audiovisual language, collective screenings and analysis of film materials as well as creative exercises such as photo-audio narratives, the piece \u201cMy Safe Place\u201d, and documentary interview practices. Participation was free of charge and included transportation support and childcare services, with the aim of reducing structural barriers and facilitating attendance. The audio-visual pieces produced have made possible the exploration of  sensitive dimensions of the migrant experience \u2014 such as atmospheres, emotions, and ways of inhabiting urban space \u2014 while also strengthening processes of collective expression and local community networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Consuelo Gonz\u00e1lez re-contacted research participants through an ethnographic follow-up<\/strong> that included participant observation, shadowing, audio-visual documentation and more interviews. This fieldwork carried out in Chile deepened the analysis of everyday mobility practices and processes of (re)territorialization from a sensory and intersectional perspective. The analysis of results obtained will contribute to the ongoing doctoral research project funded by ANID and to future publications linked to the field of migration or territorial studies.<\/p>\n\n\n

During the last week of January 2026<\/strong> the on-site activities in Great Britain of the research project titled The lived experiences of different migrants residing in the Northeast of England<\/em><\/strong> (LEMINEE) continued within the framework of a collaboration of Newcastle University and UAB. In this sense, two more research meetings <\/strong>were held in Newcastle-upon-Tyne<\/strong> (including the participation, among others, of Ruth McAreavey and Ricard Mor\u00e9n-Alegret) and a second stage of fieldwork<\/strong> and photographic-documental work was carried out mainly in Northumberland<\/strong> by Ricard Mor\u00e9n-Alegret . Among other activities, this fieldwork included five additional semi-structured interviews with key informants that belong to an immigrant workers’ recruitment agency, local community organisations and cultural businesses (in total, 28 semi-structured interviews have been conducted so far; for more information about the LEMINEE project, see the Research section of this GRM website). In addition, photographic and documental work took place in libraries, bookshops, newsagents, social venues, etc. of Berwick-upon-Tweed area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
