From all over the world, picture book illustrators sent original
images and personal messages, in postcard form, for Migrations, an
exhibition at the Biennial of Illustration, Bratislava, in 2017,
curated by the University of Worcester's International Centre for
the Picture Book in Society. Over fifty of the cards are reproduced
in this very special book. The book is divided into themes of
Departures, Long Journeys, Arrivals and Hope for the Future. The
facsimile postcard text includes personal messages of hope from the
illustrators, as well as quotes from writers including Emily
Dickinson, WB Yeats, John Clare, and Anita Desai. Robert Macfarlane
has written a poem specially for the postcard drawn by Jackie
Morris. Illustrators include Christopher Corr, Marie-Louise Gay,
Piet Grobler, Petr Horacek, Isol, Jon Klassen, Neal Layton, PJ
Lynch, Roger Mello, Jackie Morris, Jane Ray, Chris Riddell, Axel
Scheffler and Shaun Tan. In total, illustrators from 28 countries
have contributed. Migrations carries a powerful message about human
migration, showing how cultures, ideas and aspirations flow despite
borders, barriers and bans.
