“Between Shores” is a mixed media exhibition exploring the personal and observed narratives surrounding the experience of migration and examines the perceptions of being “other” within the adoptive country and the ensuing dialogue between displaced peoples and the communities that receive them.
Migrations of humanity, whether instigated by war, conflict, persecution, poverty, climate change, or simply seeking a better and more sustainable life, transport people from the known, their homes, families, and communities, to the unknown.
