What's Your Migration Story?

At my exhibit at the Cameron Gallery at the Scrap Exchange, I had an interactive work called “What’s Your Migration Story?” Visitors were invited to place pins in the map locating their family’s migration story as far back as they knew. They then connected the pins with an orange thread. My goal with the piece was to create a very visual, very local image of human migration, showing that human migration is a natural behavior, just like Monarchs. In a time of so much anti immigrant rhetoric I wanted to show that we are all immigrants and refugees.
