At a time when Europe is facing a migration crisis, the Schengen Border Art site provides an insight into the vision and work of many artists around the issue of European borders, the way they are experienced by migrants and newcomers and the violence, injustice or vulnerability of their situation. These different works help to raise awareness among European citizens of the reality and scale of the problem.
The Border Culture/Border Poetics group is an international research group led by members of the Arctic University of Norway (UIT). They propose a new border aesthetics serving to better grasp the representations of borders in the artistic and academic domains. They focus their activities on the scientific and educational fields.
