Migratory Cultures

In a world transformed by globalization, migration, and digital technologies, our understanding of identity and belonging is undergoing a profound transformation. This book explores these complex issues through the lens of visual culture, examining how contemporary artists from around the world have grappled with themes of identity, belonging, and displacement.
Through a series of thought-provoking essays, this book delves into the work of artists who have used their art to explore the complexities of identity in a rapidly changing world. From the haunting images of displacement and loss in the work of Mona Hatoum to the vibrant and celebratory expressions of identity in the art of Alfredo Jaar, this book offers a kaleidoscope of perspectives on the human experience in the 21st century.
This book also examines the role of art in shaping public discourse around issues of identity and belonging. From the powerful street art of Banksy to the immersive installations of Ai Weiwei, artists are increasingly using their work to raise awareness of social and political issues and to advocate for change.
This book is a timely and important contribution to the ongoing conversation about identity and belonging in a globalized world.
