Dedicated to the stories of migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, and exiles, the interdisciplinary Book collection “Entangled Histories of Art and Migration. Theories, Sites and Research Methods” (2024) asks how these stories are interwoven with art, art practices, activism, reception, and (re-)presentation. It explores the complex entanglements of art and aesthetic practices with migration, flight, and other forms of enforced dislocation and border/border crossings in global contexts - the latter significant phenomena of social transformation in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
 Giving space to these stories of art and migration and its power of pluriverse knowledge production, the book takes an art and cultural studies perspective and questions the significance of spatial changes for artistic practice in migration and elaborates on new or different theory formation. Bringing together its case studies and theoretical approaches, the argumentation unfolds over the five sections of the book Visibilities | Invisibilities, Sites | Spaces, Materiality | Materialisation, Racism | Resistance and Practices | Performativity.
We warmly invite you to a conversation with the co-editors Cathrine Bublatzky, Burcu Dogramaci and Mona Schieren who will give a socio-political contextualization and the background to the book project, and will, with some of the authors, provide insights into the book and some individual contributions. This will be followed by an open discussion with Q&A from the audience.
