Curated by
Niels Van Tomme, Director of Arts and Media at Provisions Learning Project
in Washington, DC, and organized with the Center for Art, Design and Visual
Culture in Baltimore, Where Do We Migrate To? explores diverging
ways in which forms of migration, experiences of displacement, and
questions of belonging have been addressed by artists in recent years.
Displaying a multiplicity of migratory encounters, the exhibition presents
multiple perspectives about its subject matter, opening up a range of
political, psychological, poetic, and pragmatic manifestations of the
contemporary migrant experience.

Situating the contemporary
individual in a world of advanced globalization, Where Do We Migrate
To? proposes to imagine the migrant as a figure, a conceptual
entity, through which it is possible to recognize our present day selves.
As someone who enters from the outside to re-define the inside, can the
migrant be turned into an agent of change, instead of a subject of
exclusion? What can we discover from its ability to adapt to temporary,
uncertain, and hostile circumstances, from its experience of never being
able to fully settle down? And which lessons are to be learned from its
fundamental form of expression: migration? Calling for an increasingly
complex understanding of the human condition, the exhibition demonstrates
ways in which the ongoing circulation of people across geopolitical,
demographic, and cultural contexts is addressed and questioned through a
wide selection of thought-provoking works of art.

Where Do
We Migrate To? features nineteen internationally recognized artists
and collectives: Acconci Studio, Svetlana Boym, Blane De St. Croix,
Lara Dhondt, Brendan Fernandes, Claire Fontaine, Nicole Franchy, Andrea
Geyer, Isola and Norzi, Kimsooja, Pedro Lasch, Adrian Piper, Raqs Media
Collective, Société Réaliste, Julika Rudelius, Xaviera
Simmons, Fereshteh Toosi, Philippe Vandenberg, and Eric
Van Hove.

An accompanying film and video program,
curated by Sonja Simonyi, will feature a series of programs/screenings by a
broad range of international filmmakers and video artists: Chantal
Akerman, Herman Asselberghs, Ursula Biemann, Pavel Brailia, Oliver Husain,
Isaac Julien, Tanja Ostojic, Egle Rakauskaite, Ben Russell, Ulirch Seidl,
Usha Seejarim, Lonnie van Brummelen, and Siebren de
Haan.

Admission to the exhibition and film program is
