Description

Art, Borders and Belonging: On Home and Migration investigates how three associated concepts—house, home and homeland—are represented in contemporary global art.

The volume brings together essays which explore the conditions of global migration as a process that is always both about departures and homecomings, indeed, home-makings, through which the construction of migratory narratives are made possible. Although centrally concerned with how recent and contemporary works of art can materialize the migratory experience of movement and (re)settlement, the contributions to this book also explore how curating and exhibition practices, at both local and global levels, can extend and challenge conventional narratives of art, borders and belonging. A growing number of artists migrate; some for better job opportunities and for the experience of different cultures, others not by choice but as a consequence of forced displacement caused economic or environmental collapse, or by political, religious or military destabilization.

In recent years, the theme of migration has emerged as a dominant subject in art and curatorial practices.

Art, Borders and Belonging thus seeks to explore how the migratory experience is generated and displayed through the lens of contemporary art.

In considering the extent to which the visual arts are intertwined with real life events, this text acts as a vehicle of knowledge transfer of cultural perspectives and enhances the importance of understanding artistic interventions in relation to home, migration and belonging.
