Borders
Curated by Katherine, Jackie, Kitana
A significant aspect of immigration would be the significant role of borders, which really impacts the understanding of these different experiences. Art can challenge the notion of borders by questioning their legitimacy and exploring their impact on individuals and communities. The theme on borders was aimed to highlight the fluidity of borders, how they can be crossed, transcended, or even erased. The creation of the panel made us reconsider the ways in which borders shape our understanding of belonging and exclusion. Each individual’s sentiment through each side of the border may vary, depending on their relationship to their homeland and of their fixed location. Within this panel, the overarching theme was to explore the nuanced complexities of migrant’s experiences with the concept of border and how it affects their perception of boundaries.
