Migrant Journal is a six-issue journal exploring the circulation of people, goods, information, and even fauna and flora, around the world and the transformative impact they have on contemporary life. While migration is part of humanity’s genesis, it seems the phenomenon has become ubiquitous, happening faster, with complex ramifications.

Rising fluxes of population question concepts of identity, citizenship and belonging. However, migration involves far more than just individuals. From the influence of African slave trade routes on the centenary traditional Portuguese carolino rice, to the travel of seeds carried by the winds or trapped under the boots of a merchant, there are more intricate facets of migration whose pertinence equals to human fluxes. Besides seeds, bacteria, goods, animals and people, impalpable flows of data, ideas and information now constitute a new spatial challenge to understand. Migration is creating new spaces that Migrant Journal wants to explore.

For Parallel Crossings, Migrant Journal makes a spatial presentation of the first five issues of the publication. Participating artists: Crystal Bennes, Alice Bucknell, Display Distribute, Sophie Dyer & Eline Benjaminsen, Hefin Jones, Marit Mihklepp, Konstantin Mitrokhov, Dámaso Randulfe, Studio Folder, Mauro Tosarelli, Giuditta Vendrame.
