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.
