Becky Field has been photographing the lives of immigrants since 2012. In 2021, met "Antony," an African immigrant who was tracked with an ankle monitor and detained under house arrest for years, simply for asking for asylum. Every week for almost 2 years, she photographed his experiences with the pain and humiliation of detention.
Becky will show photographs of her work with "Antony," a pseudonym for his protection. She will talk about their times together and his status. Under current immigration policies, he still cannot travel freely, but she will play a short recording of him telling his story.
