We invite you to share your own personal and familial stories of migration in this storytelling project that's part of the exhibition A Movement in Every Direction: Legacies of the Great Migration.
A Movement in Every Direction presents a departure from traditional accounts of the Great Migration, which are often understood through a lens of trauma, and reconceptualizes them as stories of self-possession, self-determination, and self-examination. Additionally, the Brooklyn Museum’s presentation centers Brooklyn as another important site in the Great Migration, highlighting historical and contemporary census data about the borough’s migration patterns.
Experience A Movement in Every Direction: Legacies of the Great Migration through June 25.
