All over the world, people move across borders for all kinds of reasons. In the 21st century, more people than ever migrate for all kinds of political, economic and environmental reasons. At the same time, travelling is increasingly difficult for a great many people. How difficult, or easy, it is, is often determined by your passport. Which countries welcome you and which do not? And when you are in another country, when do you feel at home? In the exhibition Between borders, artists, fashion and jewellery designers, and Arnhemmers alike share their answers to those questions.
Between borders consists of two parts. From 3 June, young fashion and jewellery designers living in the Netherlands will show work about living and working between two worlds. From 15 July, (inter)national artists and Arnhemmers will also share their personal experiences with borders and migration.
The museum entered into a partnership with the Fashion + Design Festival Arnhem especially for the exhibition. Together with them we have selected 8 designers who have a connection with Arnhem. They live here, grew up here or have studied here. You can read in-depth interviews about their work by scanning the QR code.
In the exhibition you can also read texts by three Arnhemmers with a migration background: Nazmiye Oral, Sarjon and Ahmed Marcouch. The exhibition makers of Museum Arnhem, who do not have a migration background themselves, asked them to take visitors through the museum rooms based on their own experiences.
