In Refugees Welcome?, Chalabi writes and draws about what kind of design the Migration Board uses to visualize the asylum process. The work becomes a place for memory and history writing where Chalabi tries to understand how to document a process that is prohibited to be documented by the person undergoing it. Illustration in Chalabi’s work is a tool that serves an aim beyond its practical aspect of depicting a narrative. It is a resistance against the restrictions of filming, recording, and photographing whatever happens inside the Migration Board’s offices in Sweden.
