‘EUROPA?’ is a collaboration between a Spanish photographer and a British writer; combining photography and fiction to examine the experiences of modern European migrants.

Ignacio Evangelista’s haunting photographic series ‘After Schengen’ shows abandoned and disused European border crossings following 1985’s Schengen Agreement … writer Chris Burkham saw these photos in the UK’s Independent on Sunday newspaper, and the result is ‘EUROPA?’; a hybrid collection of images and fiction.

Burkham’s short stories ask who makes these journeys after-Schengen – and peoples Evangelista’s images with characters and their narratives that explore possibility, fear, hope and unease; playing on the notion of perpetual flux that is a central part of the European experiment.

Avoiding the prevalent accounts of refugees escaping war zones; instead the book focuses on the peripheral, the migrants who continually criss-cross these arbitrary lines on the map.
