Art About Migration

The Art Assignment is a weekly PBS Digital Studios production hosted by curator Sarah Green. We take you around the U.S. to meet working artists and solicit assignments from them that we can all complete.

Art About Migration

Season 6 Episode 2 | 16m 33s | CC

Migration is central to human experience, and art history reflects that. Skipping through time and geography, we explore Jacob Lawrence's Migration Series, Lapita pottery, the Akbarnama, and the MexicaN codex "Tira de la Peregrinación," and also discuss contemporary art about migration.
