Module 2: On Migration and Shifting Homes
In this module, we explore the meanings and the effects of migration on the self and extended self. We explore the multigenerational histories, paths, and (missed) communications. We learn what it means ‘to see as a child’ again and are invited to explore one’s own migration path, what the effects of migration are, and how to acknowledge these inner, sometimes buried knowings and lived experiences as a source of strength.
What does it mean to be a child of a migrant family?
How are the interconnected paths of one’s self and the extended families shaping our languages, visions and lives today?
How do we make mobility, movements, and being different or estranged to become strong vantage points?
How do we understand and document the shifts of multiple homes, migrations paths, and interwoven histories?
Next dates:
The seminar has 6 sessions, held in English, with meetings on Saturdays, at 3-4.30pm (UK time).
