Summary:
" The Restless Earth borrows its title from a collection of poems by EĢdouard Glissant, a Caribbean writer who probed the question of how different cultures can co-exist. The exhibition shares in Glissant's project--a pressing and necessary one that tries to describe this unstable and agitated present as a polyphony of voices and narratives. Through the works of more than sixty artists from more than forty countries ... and with historical documents and objects of material culture, this exhibition charts both experiences and perceptions of migration and the current refugee crisis as an epoch-making transformation that is reframing contemporary history, geography, and culture."--Page 8.
