Migration is the movement of people or human groups from their place of origin to other regions. This movement may be voluntary, as is the case with legal emigrants with work permits, or involuntary and ensuing from the lack of job opportunities; it may be massive or as a result of armed conflicts or due to ethnic exclusions, which are escalating now in a significant and disturbing manner.

Migration processes can be analyzed from different points of view including the economic, political, demographic and social angles. They are seen as collective processes, but they are also individual experiences. All perspectives are indispensable to achieve an understanding of this highly complex phenomenon. The exhibition Migrations: Looking South proposes a new standpoint for analyzing the Central-American migration process through a rarely explored outlook: culture

Migrations: Looking South was organized by Guatemalan curator Rosina Cazali and includes several artists from the region who through their creativity would approach de deeper raison d’etre of the initiative. In her own words, “artists bring us closer to the reflections activated by their contexts, their personal preoccupations and the ways of understanding and expressing the meaning of those exoduses that are part of our countries daily life.”

Migrations: Looking South will be housed at The Moore Space thanks to the collaboration of Miami Design District. It will open on December 3rd during Art Basel Miami.
