We warmly invite you to a creative, interactive and experiential exhibition showcasing anthropology students’ ethnographic projects on the topic of mobility. Light snacks and drinks will be served. Free tickets will be available at the main office (B750 Loeb Building) before the start of the event.
The exhibit proposes to explore how mobility (physical and social) is experienced by different actors. It shows the zones of tension between the physical infrastructures of mobility — routes, buses, cars, train stations and even immigration forms and policies — that enable mobility, and the embodied experience of mobility at the local, regional, transnational and digital level. The various projects work in unison to create a sense of physical and psycho-social discomfort often associated with mobility for the less privileged, as mobility is often restricted and even denied based on social makers such as ethnicity, race, class, ability, religion, nationality, language and gender.
The exhibit also aims to highlight that mobility and processes of group inclusion and exclusion are closely related. Visitors will have their access to space and routes monitored and controlled through various means.
