This talk will shed some light on a poorly-known country, Lithuania. Although its population has been significantly decreasing, the academic literature is largely silent – even that of the UK, the prime destination of Lithuanian emigrants. In my research, a group-based image-led methodology (Visual Matrix) is used in combination with Free Association Narrative Interviews: both employ associative methods. My study is looking at the cultural imaginary – the ways migrants imagine their collective social life. This presentation will focus on an image-led way of analysis of the cultural imaginary of Lithuanian migrants in London.
