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.
