Felipe Romero Beltrán 
Dialect
MEP, Paris

Between 2020 and 2023, Felipe Romero Beltrán documented the lives of nine young Moroccan men housed in a migrant centre in Seville. Having entered Spain illegally and awaiting the regularisation of their administrative status, they remained under house arrest in this detention centre. Over the course of these three years, corresponding to the average legal process duration required to obtain a residence permit, Beltrán developed a relationship of trust with his subjects, whose daily lives he captures and recounts.

Dialect blends various types of imagery: some candid, others staged in collaboration with the protagonists, who notably reenact memories of their journeys. In the face of judicial violence, imprisonment, and forced migration, Beltrán employs a formal visual language where softness and tenderness emerge in each image.
