At the heart of A Movement in Every Direction are deeply personal, familial stories. Some have been passed down through generations, some are recollected around artifacts and heirlooms, and some are imagined in the absence of traceable histories. The artists’ creations convey these stories to reveal a vibrant new understanding of the legacies of the Great Migration.
All of us, in fact, are storytellers. We all have stories of migration, and we tell those stories to connect with others and to make sense of our world—who we are, where we come from, and where we’re going.
We invite you to share your story of migration and contribute to an ever-growing understanding of what truly is an ongoing movement in every direction.
