Uprooted in Art: Contemporary Considerations of Refugee Art

Alan Garfield ()

International Journal of Social Sciences Perspectives, 2018, vol. 2, issue 2, 101-111

Abstract: The visual arts (like music and literature) have been immeasurably enriched by the contributions of artists from every land. In every nation, there is a unique story of cross-fertilization and cultural contributions by the immigrant imagination, coming from every direction of the globe. This paper will introduce historical and recent refugee art by examining imagery created by outcasts, usually in refugee camps which, by their political definition, are meant to have no history, no permanence and (like their residents), no future. These travellers, like their imagery, is meant to be forgotten.
