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.
