The Horizon Is An Imaginary Line is a collaborative work informed by ethnographic research and a series of storytelling workshops with Somali refugees in Delhi. The project initiated and incubated at Khoj, growing from an ongoing engagement with the Khirkee Community.
The Horizon Is An Imaginary Line (THIAIL) is a semi-fictional illustrated account of a young Somali woman's encounters as a refugee in India. Through Maryam, we reflect on the lived experiences of alienation and marginalization as an 'outsider' on the fringes of an increasingly bordered world. Designed partially as an infographic, THIAIL puts into perspective several myths and assumptions about the 'refugee crisis' and India's ambiguous role within the global refugee regime.
