Insightful and interdisciplinary, this book considers the movement
of people around the world and how contemporary artists contribute
to our understanding of it In this timely volume, artists and
thinkers join in conversation around the topic of global migration,
examining both its cultural impact and the culture of migration
itself. Individual voices shed light on the societal
transformations related to migration and its representation in
21st-century art, offering diverse points of entry into this
massive phenomenon and its many manifestations. The featured
artworks range from painting, sculpture, and photography to
installation, video, and sound art, and their makers-including
Isaac Julien, Richard Mosse, Reena Saini Kallat, Yinka Shonibare
MBE, and Do Ho Suh, among many others-hail from around the world.
Texts by experts in political science, Latin American studies, and
human rights, as well as contemporary art, expand upon the
political, economic, and social contexts of migration and its
representation. The book also includes three conversations in which
artists discuss the complexity of making work about migration. Amid
worldwide tensions surrounding refugee crises and border security,
this publication provides a nuanced interpretation of the current
cultural moment. Intertwining themes of memory, home, activism, and
more, When Home Won't Let You Stay meditates on how art both shapes
and is shaped by the public discourse on migration. Published in
association with the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston
