Nomad: Women On the Move
Wednesday, April 1 - Friday, April 10
 
An international focus on artists Elizabeth Ross from Mexico, Teresa puig from Spain and Norway, Dorothea Fleiss from Germany and Romania; and video journalist Cristina Fernandez from Spain. The installation is based on a fundamental premise: Migration is creating a completely new globalized woman. Most often, from poor countries, women have to migrate to find a way of survival. They leave their land, their families, their cultural roots and face an usually hard welcome in those rich promiseland nations. Through video, photos, audio materials, and objects, these artists will research in the cities where they live among the many women who are affected by migration.
