ART, MIGRATION AND GLOBALIZATION

The Nouvelle École de Paris emerged in the turbulent 1940s, when numerous artists fled the devastation of war and found refuge in the French capital. This artistic movement was distinguished by the diversity of its influences and forms of expression, bringing together creators from across the world. Carrying with them their experiences, traumas, memories, and aspirations, these artists profoundly enriched the Parisian cultural landscape and helped shape a new artistic identity for the city.
Today, Europe is once again confronted with a major conflict whose human and cultural consequences are far-reaching. As in the past, many artists have been forced to leave their countries in search of safety, stability, and the conditions necessary for creative work. Like the artists of the Nouvelle École de Paris, they bring with them rich cultural heritages and unique perspectives capable of transforming the artistic environments that welcome them.
It is within this context that the research project and exhibition series RE:location were conceived. Bringing together artists living in Paris while originating from different countries and cultural backgrounds, the project explores the city as a space of displacement, memory, and reconstruction. Participants are invited to reflect on their perception of Paris through concepts such as reminiscence, nostalgia, triggers, and flashbacks, as well as through a wide range of memory-related phenomena including confabulation, illusion, déjà vu, jamais vu, presque vu, and other forms of recollection and misremembering.
By examining the complex relationship between migration, memory, and urban experience, RE:location investigates how personal and collective histories shape contemporary artistic practices, and how Paris continues to function as a place of encounter, transformation, and cultural renewal. The project is curated by Anastasia Kurlyandtseva, with Sonia Kovaleva as Research Curator and Mizuho Yamazaki as Guest Curator, bringing together complementary perspectives on artistic mobility, transnational identities, and contemporary cultural production.
