migration: Migration is the movement of persons from one country or locality to another. Or it refers to a group of people migrating together. Migration has always been an important factor in human history and is a central element in understanding how human beings adapt to their environment and construct their social and cultural worlds. The magnitude and range of contemporary migration - whether voluntary or forced - is impressive, as are the ways in which this movement challenges assumptions about national borders, human rights, the nature of global economic development, and the basic structure and coherence of our own societies. We are interested in how artists think about these challenges and the potentials of this situation.
