This will be a unique and unconventional session in which artists, anthropologists and sociologists will present and perform, reflect on each other’s words, and scrutinize both contexts and products of their own sustained collaboration on the concept of serial migration. Complexities of the human dimension of mobility, its emotional costs and benefits, and its impact on imagination are difficult to address in the language of scholarly work alone. Strides have been recently made towards an integration of artistic and social research and important questions have been raised: What are the ways in which artistic research may cross boundaries among artistic and scholarly disciplines, to gives rise to new research practices? Artists’ collective Moving Matters Traveling Workshop (MMTW) is an example of such cross-pollination. The collective produced a body of cross-disciplinary, multimedia critical commentary on aspects of human mobility, some of them previously overlooked: ‘seriality’ in migration processes, forms of belonging and inclusion that reach beyond standard tropes of integration/ assimilation, and the critique disembodied conceptions of the cosmopolitan. The session will feature some of the works produced by the members of the collective in the form of paper presentation, interaction with the audience, and ‘interruptions’. Because of this unconventional format, the proposed panel will not have a fixed list of papers and presenters, save for Susan Ossman and Olga Sezneva acting as MC’s. Other members of the collective will introduce their artistic work and enact her/his double ‘other’ (as an artist/scholar). The session will conclude with a short, interactive performance.
