Do we live in an age of mobility, or immobility? How might we understand the right to move or to stay put as uneven resources, differentially distributed across entanglements of race, gender, caste, and class? Through their artworks, submitted as part of their studies on the MA Migration & Diaspora Studies programme, SOAS MA students engage creative research methods to trace and illuminate the everyday lives and afterlives of borders across a broad range of times, places and contexts. Their pieces ask us to reflect upon the myriad ways in which artistic processes can enrich ethnographic research methods and support decolonial modes of study.
