Fee: $20
Routes & Roots explores immigration as both movement and making: leaving, arriving, adapting, and becoming. “Routes” can be a border crossing, a flight path, a train line, a street walked in fear or hope, a digital connection to people left behind. “Roots” can be family, language, food, faith, memory, land, or the chosen communities that help us survive.
We invite women and non-binary artists to submit work that reflects on immigration and migration in all their complexity: voluntary and forced movement, diaspora, refuge, exile, resettlement, documentation and bureaucracy, belonging and unbelonging, intergenerational stories, cultural hybridity, cultural assimilation, and the ways identity shifts across places and time. Work may be intimate or political, literal or metaphorical—personal testimony, collective history, imagined futures.
