Jessica Babe, "Artifacts for Three Migrations"
Each artifact of migration is encoded with memory. This is a form of narrative building that prompts a contemplation of the impermanence of physical built spaces and a re-examination of how cultural heritage is preserved. It reveals the significance of artifacts of migration in safeguarding cultural knowledge, even surpassing the importance of individual architectural works.
This is a kind of cultural preservation that involves the agency of individuals of a migrant community. It occurs over a vast expanse of space. It is multi-generational. It is not a static process, but one that is highly dynamic, spanning geographic and political boundaries.
