For the past year, I’ve been volunteering and participating with Street Soccer Barcelona Street Soccer Barcelona 💙 an NGO that uses football to create spaces of connection and support for people who have experienced migration and displacement.
I was very happy when they asked me to document some of the people taking part in the programme, and equally happy to see this work exhibited in different spaces across Barcelona.
Hundreds of people have passed through the programme, each with their own reasons for arriving in Spain and their own journey to get here. Many have travelled across countries and oceans, dealt with visas and bureaucracy, spent huge amounts of money, and left behind jobs, families, relationships, homes and entire lives.
SSB offers something very simple in the middle of all this: a place to play football, meet others and share a moment where, even if only briefly, everything that was left behind can be put aside.
