Emma Duester

The Politics of Migration and Mobility in the Art World (eBook, ePUB)

Transnational Baltic Artistic Practices across Europe

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

An original and compelling look at visual artists' culture of mobility across Europe

This volume studies the movements of visual artists from the Baltic States of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, where a lack of opportunities makes migration necessary for career progression. Faced with such barriers, how do artists from the Baltic States break into the global art market? Emma Duester argues that these artists form an artistic diaspora of practice, forming communities across geographic and ethnic borders.

Offering a fresh perspective on art and the working lives of those who create it, this multidisciplinary work investigates patterns of migration and mobile working practices across Europe and discusses the implications of artists' movements on conventional notions of home, mobility and diaspora. Amid a global refugee crisis, a resurgence in negative portrayals of Eastern Europeans in mainstream media and increasing anti-immigrant sentiment fueled by Brexit and the rise of protectionism, this is a vital work that shines important new light on diaspora, displacement and what it means to belong.
