What is a migrant? Can a person be illegal? How do borders affect identity? Is migration a new phenomenon? Where do migrants belong? What is an emigrant? And an immigrant? How can a person live “in” the border and belong to both sides? Come and see this photography exhibit of migrants’ journeys and reflect on the complexity of the migrant’s identity from a variety of perspectives: departures, border crossings, arrivals, and the formation of new, hybrid, and hyphenated identities.
