Relocation may involve the adoption of new roles and transformations in identity played out across borders and spaces. Focusing, in particular, on the movements of people across the E.U., and between the E.U. and Canada, PERFORMIGRATIONS reconsiders the ways that we draw geographic borders by placing storytelling, creative acts, and cultural heritage at the locus of place-making. Performance, art, and mobile media technologies offer exciting new ways to explore and express the various instances of belonging and alienation that frame migration narratives.
