The essays gathered in Entangled Histories of Art and Migration: Theories, Sites and Research Methods epitomize the recent ‘migratory turn’ in art-related studies, which has introduced new critical and interdisciplinary methodologies and a much-needed reappraisal of the ways in which migrants, exiles, refugees and asylum seekers are represented in art, architecture, activism, exhibitions, and more. By exploring topical subjects such as the practices of (in)visibilization of migrant and refugee lifeworlds and the production of space and images in diaspora, along with racism and anti-racism resistance in museums and curating, the volume’s in-depth case studies make a valuable, pluriversal contribution to contemporary debates on how migration and forced displacement figure within the field of global art.Anne Ring Petersen, professor, department of Arts and Cultural Studies, University of Copenhagen
