This seminar takes point of departure in the Velux-funded project Reorienting Integration, which follows Denmark’s resumption to resettle refugees through the UNHCR resettlement program. The project explores how resettlement is experienced by the primarily Congolese families who have been resettled in Denmark since 2021 from refugee camps in Rwanda, and how municipalities meet the newly arrived families.

Trine Grønbæk has been affiliated with the project as a master student in visual anthropology, and she collaborated with one of her young interlocutors around making a film, Meet Onesime, which captures glimpses into his everyday life upon arrival to Denmark. At this First Friday seminar, we will screen the film (appr. 30 minutes) and invite participants to reflect with us upon Onesime’s experiences as well as the potential of collaborative and visual formats.
