This book focuses on the importance of migration in Middlesbrough’s recent history. Through an essay by historian Tosh Warwick we discover some of the tragic moments of tension that have arisen locally from national and international contexts of conflict and economic turmoil. The title of this book is a quotation from a timeline of the area’s history made collectively at public events at MIMA in 2015. In 2017, MIMA organised an event of the same title and invited Tosh to develop a paper which formed the foundation for the essay published here. We are grateful to Tosh for this ongoing collaboration and for sharing his research in such succinct terms.
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.
