Introducing #migratingmemoryscapes!
We are a transnational #CDAF grant project based in Poland through @ExchangeOurWorld and @VoicesOfExchange. This project seeks to support long-term community-building through art workshops that will facilitate cross-cultural dialogue between migrant and non-migrant communities in Poland.
This project is run by #ExchangeAlumni and alumni of @FulbrightPoland Joanna Pottle and Frankee Lyons and seeks to investigate how shared history and heritage is enmeshed within the contemporary lived experiences of migrants. Our aim is to analyze this within our local context of Kraków and Warsaw, both cities that have rapidly growing migrant populations consisting of refugees from Ukraine and Belarus as well as a rich multicultural community of people from all over the world.
These workshops, in Kraków and Warsaw, provide space for intergenerational community members to connect through personal stories and family histories of migration and displacement in cooperation with local organizations. Following prompt-based discussions, participants will produce visual and text based art, which will be curated and displayed – with accompanying historical context – in physical and online exhibits. The project expands upon the concept of “memoryscapes" which refers to spatial representations of socially-shared memory, the action of listening to located oral accounts as a way to map individual and collective stories, and a way to trace both the past and the present cultural landscape.
