The Art of Migration: artists, film & arts-based approaches to migration studies

Migration has shaped human history, society and culture – and the same can be said of the Arts. As people move, they take their stories with them, recalling, adapting, learning and searching for new ways of expression. Today, migration research presents fresh and innovative ways of telling those stories, but arts-based approaches still prevail.

This seminar series focuses on how the Arts can advance and illuminate migration research, elevating the experiences of individuals and acknowledging value across artistic practices.

Attendance is free, and all are welcome.

All seminars in this series will be hybrid:
