Where Do We Migrate To? is a book published in conjunction with the traveling exhibition of the same title, which explores diverging ways in which forms of migration, experiences of displacement, and questions of belonging have been addressed by artists in recent years. For the book, four prominent international writers were invited to reflect on the themes from the exhibition. Ranging from the playful to the theoretical, from the poetic to the philosophical, their essays call for an increasingly complex understanding of the contemporary migrant experience. The book also includes nineteen postcards by the artists participating in the exhibition, designed specifically for the publication and presenting multiple visual interpretations of migratory encounters.
