Abstract

This article explores truth demands, politics of in/visibility, and migration in Morocco. Based on the participatory research project Arts for Advocacy: Creative Engagement with Forced Displacement in Morocco, we argue that narratives which depart from migrants’ confessional accounts of victimhood and contest truth demands can shift the in/visibility of migrants. Besides contributing to scholarship on the use of participatory, creative processes in migration studies, this article intervenes in wider debates about the construction of counter-narratives in contexts where representational practices reduce migrants to victims and villains.
