And what role can a museum play in times of mass migration? Taking as its starting point the 2019 exhibition \u003ci\u003eMigration: Traces in an Art Collection\u003c\/i\u003e, which featured more than a hundred works from Malmö Konstmuseum made between 1880 and today, this publication brings to light the radical approach of museum director Ernst Fischer, who in 1945 transformed the museum into a refugee shelter for survivors of German concentration camps. It also highlights the museum's long-forgotten Latvian Collection, comprised of art acquired in solidarity with the young Baltic nation and its exiles. Contrasting works by exiled artists such as Sonia Delaunay-Terk, Lotte Laserstein, Endre Nemes, and Peter Weiss further animate the discussion, as do the geopolitical concerns of Pia Arke, Öyvind Fahlström, and Charlotte Johannesson. Correspondingly, a conversation with the exhibition's curators foregrounds the ways in which today's artists reflect upon and articulate experiences of migration. Together, these re-readings of the collection and its potential contribute to an urgent debate on the role of museums in our time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eErnst Fischer, Lars-Erik Hjertström Lappalainen, Maria Lind, Lotte Løvholm, Joanna Warsza, and Cecilia Widenheim","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46299879080165,"sku":"NP9783956795473","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9783956795473.jpg?v=1767732679","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/migration-traces-in-an-art-collection-isbn-9783956795473","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
