The first session, Origin, explores the motivations, aspirations, and constraints that drive or compel migration. It also examines how migration shapes local realities long before a journey begins, and how the decision to leave becomes internalized.
Migration often begins long before people actually set out on their journey. Conversations, expectations, opportunities, constraints, and hopes shape the process well in advance. The decision to migrate is rarely straightforward; it usually emerges from a complex mix of hope, necessity, and uncertainty.
Origin explores the motivations, aspirations, and pressures that drive or compel migration. In this session, artists and storytellers from communities of origin reflect on how migration shapes local realities long before a journey begins, and how the decision to leave takes root in people's minds and lives.
