Movement of Freedom is a reaction to a piece of graffiti inside the heavily secured Moria refugee camp on Lesbos. “Movement of freedom” became an alternative or a replacement for the word “migration” or “migrant”: words synonymous with suffering for some or with something darker for the right-wing factions revealing themselves across Europe. This broadcast is simply an edited selection of movement collected by myself and others over a four-month period. Mohamad, my friend, collaborator, and a refugee from Iraq, would routinely send me clips from the camp. Initially this footage was extremely disturbing and violent. We decided to keep a focus on other portrayals from the island, where movement does not exclusively mean the trudge usually implied with migration. It did not mean just fleeing or escaping.
