| Summary: | "Art and migration is a collective response to the idea that migration is disruptive of national heritage. Featuring chapters by academics and interviews with art professionals, the book explores how the visual arts - especially by or about migrants - create points of encounter between individuals, places, and objects. Migration has increasingly taken centre stage in contemporary art, as artists claim it as a paradigm of artistic creation. The trajectories of transnational artworks and artists' careers are reflected in the density and dynamism of fairs and biennales, itinerant museum exhibitions, and shifting art centres. Dominant political and cultural narratives frame globalisation as a recent development that reverses centuries of cultural homogeneity, but art historians and migration scholars are reimagining these narratives to create an histoire croisée that challenges the power of constructed borders and cultural gatekeeping. Analysing the vested political interests of migration terminology, such as the erroneous conflation of 'refugees' and 'asylum seekers' and the politically constructed use of 'diaspora', this volume reappraises the historic formation of national identities and aesthetics heritage as constructed under transnational visual influences. It argues that centring migration - often silenced by normative archives or by nationalist attribution practices - is part of the workload of revisioning art history and decolonising museums." |
