ARTS

This section will serve as a growing digital gallery showcasing the creative work of writers, artists, translators and cultural practitioners who are part of the Migration SIG. Its aim is to demonstrate that migration can be a powerful source of creativity, collaboration and storytelling, exerting a meaningful impact on society.

We understand migration arts in a broad sense: they encompass literature, theatre, film, performance, photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, digital art, music, dance, VR and AR, as well as other hybrid and interdisciplinary practices. As our network expands, so too will this repository, with new categories and works continually added.

For us, migration arts are not confined to works explicitly about migration. They include works that emerge from lived experiences of migration, are shaped by its influence, or reflect the hybrid, cosmopolitan and transnational encounters of a globalized world. The artist does not need to be a migrant—what matters is that their work resonates with the transformations that migration brings: culturally, socially and politically.
