You Can See Me, But I Don't Exist

You Can See Me, But I Don't Exist

Alan Gignoux

You can see me, but I don’t exist is an exhibition-in-a-book created to raise awareness of issues affecting asylum seekers in the UK.

Originally designed for display in libraries and schools during Refugee Week 2023 and beyond, the project is presented in a binder with installation guidance, allowing it to be shown as an exhibition and then returned to book form.

The publication includes refugee portraits by Alan Gignoux, poems written by refugees in response to the portraits, an introductory essay on the UK asylum process by policy researcher Woodren Brade, exhibition installation suggestions, writing workshop prompts, and an A2 foldout poster.

A limited number of only 60 copies are available to buy, these sales supporting the wider project which supplied copies of the exhibition book to libraries and schools.

Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
