migration
is human
“Telling your story is the secret to survival.”
— Houleye Thiam
Art gives us access to worlds we’ve never seen, and helps us see our world in new ways. Migration is a natural part of being human; it’s also an act of courage, love, resilience, and resistance.
The Ohio Migration Anthology is a serial publication of visual, written, and performance art by people with a connection to Ohio and to migration of some kind — including African Americans whose families came north during the Great Migration.
Ohioans are using art to bring their stories to life.
