Abstract

This article will explore how art can help audiences to think and feel about migration differently, by focusing on two political art projects: Tanja Ostojić’s Misplaced women? (2009-present) and Bern O'Donoghue’s Dead Reckoning (2015- present). These projects are based on experiences of crossing hostile borders. Both artists’ work explores personal, social and political aspects of displacement.
