Background
Addressing im/migrant forms of expression around the globe, this rich, illustrated collection includes poetry, creative nonfiction, interviews, analyses of diasporic fashion, cinema, and mixed media installations, as well as performances turned into writing, photographic work, collages, and drawings. Forms of Migration shows us how to apprehend migration differently, through innovative storytelling, offering opportunities to confront the complexity of migration processes.

To illustrate the transformation of a migration, our visual concept is based on a variable font that changes shape on each page of the book. The headlines change throughout the book from Light/Condensed to Bold/Extended, the page numbers in the opposite direction. Text passages abruptly change from white to black, thus interrupting the flow of text and the reader’s viewing habits, who constantly have to adapt to the visual environment. The cover illustration visualizes the topic of form, movement, direction and changes in an abstract form.
