Migrant Journal No.6

Präsentation MIGRANT JOURNAL NO.6 ‘FOREIGN AGENTS’
mit Michaela Büsse

Wir freuen uns, zur Präsentation des MIGRANT JOURNAL NO.6 ‘FOREIGN AGENTS’ am 25. Juni 2019 um 19 Uhr im halfway einzuladen. Michaela Büsse, Mitherausgeberin des MIGRANT JOURNAL, wird die 6. Ausgabe präsentieren und für eine Diskussion hier sein.

Diese Veranstaltung ist Teil des Kapitels Migration of Forms / Forms of Migration unseres künstlerisch-wissenschaftlichen Forschungsprojekts Curating the Urban. Migration of Forms thematisiert Austauschverhältnisse und damit jene Dimension, die eine grundlegende Voraussetzung für heutige (dividuale) Subjektivität und Räumlichkeit darstellt.

MIGRANT JOURNAL explores the circulation of people, goods, information, but also fauna and flora, around the world and the transformative impact they have on space.

MIGRANT JOURNAL NO.6 ‘FOREIGN AGENTS’

Migrant subjects create migrant imaginaries. Ideas, customs, technologies and expressive forms circulate alongside mobile communities and, in so doing, they mutate, reconfigure and affect surrounding cultures. The very notion of culture is inseparable from these processes of diffusion, friction, transformation and creolisation. When the journeys and experiences of people on the move are documented and represented, migration itself becomes the subject of culture. Rituals and institutions, knowledge and identities, phonemes, pigments and pixels, notions of taste, class, gender or ethnicity migrate across time and space at any given epoch. Today, the advent of machine learning and algorithmic technologies means that many of these migrations occur without being mediated, or even perceived, by humans.

MIGRANT is edited by Justinien Tribillon, Michaela Büsse and Dámaso Randulfe. It’s co-edited and designed by Offshore Studio, formed of Isabel Seiffert and Christoph Miler.
