Materiality of Migration in the Indian Ocean & Global Asia: Artifacts, Self–Fashioning, Belonging

This international conference explores the historical relationship between migrants and the material belongings they carried or fashioned as they traversed the Indian Ocean region and Asia. How do the objects that migrants brought with them on their journeys connect them to multiple elsewheres, to the places and peoples they’d left behind? And, how do their possessions and built spaces anchor peoples on the move to new places? Free Admission. Open to the Public.
