Objects in/of Migration
Moving Matters Traveling Workshop
This exhibition in the Allard Pierson Museum draws together artists, musicians, actors and creative writers to explore the experience of serial migration. 6 June a live performance and reception will take place for which you can register.
The artists of the Moving Matters Traveling Workshop interact with the collection of the Allard Pierson Museum of Mediterranean antiquities to explore the relationship of mobility to value and materiality.
- Does movement add to the object’s value? To that of a person?
- What cherished objects do migrants carry throughout their travels?
- What things are cast by the wayside by a serial migrant or by History?
Visual artists, musicians, poets and dancers ponder the interplay of concept and embodiment, memory and loss, knowledge and value in an evolving exhibition and performances.
6 June Performance and Reception
You can visit the exhibition between 4-7 June, but you can also register for a live performance and reception on June 6 (at 18:30) through the link below.
