Lesser-known stories, personal experiences, and difficult histories are uniquely explored by twelve contemporary artists in A Movement in Every Direction: Legacies of the Great Migration.

In the latest episode of Perspectives, Kimberli Gant from the curatorial team for #GreatMigrationBkM speaks with two of the artists whose work illuminates this exhibition—Torkwase Dyson and Steffani Jemison—about what motivates us to move (or not), the freedom required to start anew, and what we carry with us into the future.

Perspectives is an original series featuring intergenerational, roundtable discussions about exhibitions and major themes at the Museum.

Visit A Movement in Every Direction: Legacies of the Great Migration through June 25.
