Mapping Migration Memories Sound Footsteps North
“Mapping Migration Memories” is the result of a multi-year research project developed by VCUarts’ (In)>Tangible Lab. Gathering and using existing archived and recorded memories, photos, films and oral histories, Mapping Migration Memories captures the historical biannual nomadic movements between the desert and the sea in Qatar. Embarking on two expeditions to the desert, the artwork re-enacts migrations in the North and South, and documents their real locations and soundscapes. “Mapping Migration Memories” emphasizes the importance of intangible practices and oral traditions so often lost in rapidly developing societies, and acts as a testament to the passing down of generational knowledge and human perseverance.
