Pop Up Migrants
Matteo Rubbettino
Location:
Australia
Project Description:
“Pop-Up Migrants” is a compelling art show focused on migrants’ experience in Australia who historically “crossed borders” to a new environment where they were strangers at first, then disorientated, then little by little contributing to shape Australian culture.
The term Pop-Up is intended to recall the situation in which unexpected diversity intervenes to “shake things up”.
This project has been created to represent Australia for the action initiated by the Immigrant Movement International from the US and to celebrate the International Migrants Day designated by the United Nations.
All the artists included in the program responded with a work of art to the Migrant Manifesto, published on the 4th of November 2011.
