The title of the exhibition is inspired by Julika Rudelius’s video Where Do We Migrate To, 2005.
The Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture at the University of Maryland Baltimore County is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the study of contemporary art and visual culture, critical theory, art and cultural history, criticism, and the relationship between society and the arts. Disciplines represented include painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, photography, digital art, video, film, television, design, architecture, advertising, and installation and performance art. The Center sponsors art exhibitions, community outreach and public art projects, and publications. Its exhibitions and accompanying travelogues—one-person and retrospectives shows, as well as thematic and experimental projects—give voice to the artists, subjects, and curatorial approaches that are often ignored or underrepresented in mainstream museums.
