Foam Foam produced this episode as part of a mini-series called Stories of Migration. In this series, we welcome three artists whose work evolves around questions of migration, identity and belonging. From their individual perspectives and personal histories, the artists reflect on ethnicity, place, marginalisation, memory and constructions of the self. They all present different cultural and political perspectives that complement each other and create a poly vocal rendition of migration. The conversations are hosted by Elisa Medde, Editor-in-Chief of Foam Magazine.

Silvia Rosi

Still-life Portrait

Step into the shoes of a photographer: if you were to take a photo of your most favourite person on the planet, how would you approach it? This workshop focuses on photography, the portrait, photographic image aspects and context.

We're confronted with how migration has bought people together, and yet at times how it has not. Though it’s often tarnished by negative speculation, it is one of the most powerful forces that can foster change, progress and create a space for stories untold.

Are we able to navigate the complex, and possibly denser than ever, intersection between identity politics and identitarian movements in today’s Europe? Are the images we are creating, producing and disseminating able to actually say something about us, our sense of belonging, and our chances to access the possibility of We?

Visual culture and photography in particular have contributed enormously to the shaping of our ideas around identity and belonging, who we are, and what is defined as 'We'.
