Movement Stories
Movement Stories
Movement stories is an art project that would touch upon the topic of internal migration, which would be understandable outside the context of a particular country and would involve people (artists and those who are interested) with migration experience in the work.
As part of the project, we will hold an open call for those who want to tell their stories of moving and answer two questions: what have I lost and what have I found? After working with each of the past open-call participants, we plan to hold an exhibition that will tell these stories. In addition, for the development of the project, we would like to attract partner organizations from Europe in order to make the exhibition mobile.
Our main objectives are to exploring the experience of internal migration through artistic means and to drawing attention to this topic in the art community.
