The right to register residency for those in an irregular administrative situation is a demand made throughout history by collectives of migrant and anti-racist struggles. Not having access to this right makes people invisible and stops them from accessing issues at stake in their daily survival, for instance healthcare, welfare benefits, requesting a residence permit, enrolling children at school, opening a bank account, and numerous other procedures. Many social collectives are denouncing the denial of access to the registration of residency, citing it as a form of institutional racism and a human rights violation.
Museo Situado unites with the launch of the Padrón por derecho (Residency Registration by Right) campaign, together with different collectives, to make citizens aware of institutions’ compliance in people’s right to register their residency. This encounter features music and poetry which open another awareness-raising window upon this collective demand.
