Abstract

A description of Making Migration Visible: Traces, Tracks and Pathways, a collaborative multi-discipline art exhibition launched by the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) at the Maine College of Art (MECA), in conjunction with more than 70 other organizations statewide. Discusses the conception of the project as a way to "respond to the international human migration crisis." Describes the contributions of co-curators Erin Hutton (ICA Director of Exhibitions and Special Projects), Julie Poitras Santos (artist, writer, and MECA MFA professor), and Catherine Besteman (Colby professor of anthropology) and their shared vision for the show as a way to humanize and normalize the concept of migrants. Shares some planned events and participating artists, including Romuald Hazoumè, Edwige Charlot, Ranu Mukherjee, and Yu-Wen Wu.
