ABSTRACT
And yet it is precisely this “ow” of people that we have sought to shed a dierent gaze on, individually and in collaboration, in our respective practices of sociology and art.1 Together, we show that far from a unidirectional, violent, and massive “invasion,” the transmigration of Sub-Saharan Africans in the Maghreb evolves according to complex patterns, often over several years, and is shaped by multiple forms of agency and collaboration enacted by migrants. We will also see at work a complex politics of mobility: not, or not only, restricted to the violent border regime often coined “fortress Europe,” but rather an entanglement of dierent actors, forms of mobility and spaces, producing unstable and ambivalent outcomes.
