On Cosmopolitanism, Xenophobia, and Migration

Abstract

The author/artist provides twenty images from three of her performance and video series: Home and Away (2003), Seeking Refuge (2008), and Mute (2008), complementing them with descriptions of the creative process and the collective experiences the images depict. Themes of identity, migration, displacement, loss, and vulnerability provide a stark contrast to the hopeful possibility of cosmopolitanism.
