I think that the medium of culture is often where we process our emotional responses. People sometimes have feelings about migration that are complicated or internally inconsistent; it is the topic that is on everybody' lips nowadays - indeed it has been for decades, but the focus is particularly intense right now. If we can help take these conversations into a well-informed cultural space then I think that we can make a real contribution to a calmer, more reasoned public conversation about migration."

Brilliant posting, great find!
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how much I appreciate all the programmes museums develop to include people ... migrants, older people, people with dementia, ... humans. They won't be able to fill all the gaps we have in our society but so many museums do what they can. That's wonderful.
