Immigrant [ˈɪmɪɡr(ə)nt]
a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country

Objective:

To reclaim the word 'Immigrant' from the negative viewpoint assigned to it by many in the British establishment and to highlight the positive contribution the immigrant has made to British society.

Method:

I will produce a limited edition print run of 50 t-shirts; these will be free to the user and will be produced on a first come first served basis. They will carry the following text...

Demand in excess of 50 will be machine printed and there will be a charge to cover materials and postage.

Your role:

• To be photographed in a public place wearing the t-shirt
• To share the photograph on social media using #valuetheimmigrant and link back to ricardopimentel.co.uk or instagram.com/ricardopimentelworks
• You can also add a comment to our gallery including your photo

In addition, if you wear the t-shirt in public and happen to get attention (positive or negative) you could try to document the interaction or get a friend to film it and email it to me.

You must be happy for any images/videos to appear on my website.
