PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Maria Photiou is an Art Historian and a Research Fellow at the University of Derby, UK. Her research focuses on women’s art practices and the connections between migration, gender, memory and the politics of belonging. Marsha Meskimmon is Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art History & Theory at Loughborough University, UK. Her current research is particularly engaged with connections between transnational feminisms, contemporary art and the environmental humanities.
This is a wonderfully curated collection of essays. The range of artistic material is rich, and the thematic focus on art's unique potential to weave together experiences of migration, borders, homemaking and belonging is remarkably consistent, as is the authors' innovative use of feminist and transnational perspectives to foreground female artists and engage with their works in close readings that are both intimate and trenchant. * Anne Ring Petersen, Professor of Modern Culture & Contemporary Art at the Department of Arts & Cultural Studies, University of Copenhagen, Denmark * Whether they are from Cyprus, Palestine, Spain, Kazakhstan or elsewhere, artists who have relocated often make works that not only invoke the idea of a lost home but also an impetus to achieve a sense of belonging in their new places of abode. This orientation, so important in contemporary art, is explored eloquently and compellingly in Art, Borders and Belonging. * Brenda Schmahmann, Professor and SARChI Chair in South African Art & Visual Culture, University of Johannesburg, South Africa *
