Migrations: People, Politics, Objects
ActiveDescription
Migrations: People, Politics, Objects is a research cluster at The Courtauld that aims to define migration in the broadest intellectual terms, in order to understand present cultural, political and legal frameworks and the historic past. It brings together the study of artworks that explicate the conditions and economics of migration with objects and architecture, including infrastructure, related to the global movement of peoples, drawing on artworks, architecture, film, sociology, politics and philosophy. It also considers borders, temporary shelter, networks and passages, geopolitical strife, notions of home, and diaspora. The cluster holds talks and events, and plans discussions with practitioners including lawyers and legal aid groups helping migrants, architects, designers and NGOs who provide shelter for displaced people, documentary filmmakers and artists working with migrants.
