About this Item
Notes
"This work speaks to the movement of displaced peoples, forced into ongoing migration and evicted from their space of belonging by war, corruption and the erosion of various resources. [...]
These reluctant travellers will suffer trauma, both visible and invisible losses as they are transformed into outsiders and aliens. [...] And if they were to return, what will they be…even if that were possible?
Damaged, polluted and remade – this journey and its hostile environments transforms a person, their whole being [...]"
