Description:
What is it that defines human identity? DNA? Language? Culture?
Landscape? Polity? Or is it a combination of all of these factors? How
do the sources of identity make it easy or difficult for individuals who
migrate from one location to another—by choice or under duress—not
merely to adapt but to become fully comfortable within their new home?
How do artists, with their particular set of sensibilities respond to
their own migration?
There are many times in the course of history when these questions
have offered particularly strong reference points, including our own,
with its unprecedented patterns of migration, and vast numbers of
refugees removing themselves under duress from one region to other parts
of the planet. Within the Western World in particular the most
significant era in which such issues might be raised occurred just prior
to the mid-twentieth century, with the rise of Nazism and other fascist
movements across most of Europe.
