Although immigration is a dominant topic in contemporary culture, its discussion is often limited to the human experience, such as the crossing of borders and issues about national identity.

Journeys takes a different perspective: how movements impact the environment. Examples range from the coconut that can drift freely on the ocean current and re-seed wherever it finds land, to government-enforced relocation, the uprooting and rearranging of communities in a way that changes landscape and society forever.

Curators: Giovanna Borasi, CCA, with Anders Bell, Lev Bratishenko, Meredith Carruthers, and Peter Sealy.
Exhibition design: Martin Beck, New York.
Graphic design: Alex DeArmond, Minneapolis.
