From Kashmir to Roseberry Topping: tales on how migration makes us who we are
3 December 2019, Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art, MIMA. This book brings together the voices and experiences of some of MIMA’s constituents – those who shape and inform the institution. At Community Lunch throughout 2018, we mapped people’s experiences of migration, cultural heritage and creative lives.
This book brings together the voices and experiences of some of MIMA’s constituents – those who shape and inform the institution. At Community Lunch throughout 2018, we mapped people’s experiences of migration, cultural heritage and creative lives. Using Graph Commons, an open-source digital tool developed by artist Burak Arikan, we brought these maps together to highlight connections between people. Following this mapping, history student Nicola Gasgoigne undertook a series of in-depth interviews with those who had contributed. Quotations from these pepper the publication. Three beautiful, personal texts offer insights into the sometimes raw and alienated experiences of Marsha Garratt, Roisin Higgins and Shahda Khan who were critical friends for MIMA’s New Mappings of Europe programme.
We are grateful to the team at MIMA and associate artists, facilitators and practitioners who bring our programmes into being. As ever, designer Joanna Deans is key to making this publication and I have had the pleasure of working with researcher and curator Ashleigh Barice as co-editor to make this series of books a reality.
