Untitled Migrant is a tribute to migration and its everyday heroes, created through collaborations with migrant communities in São Paulo and Lisbon. The installation brings together an affective migrant cartography and a series of textile lithographs.

Visitors enter the space barefoot—an invitation to embrace the vulnerability that often accompanies the experience of migration.

• mapping migration through intimate geographies;

• the search for a horizon: motivations, obstacles, desires, and dreams.

Laid directly on the ground, the cartography becomes a migratory landscape that visitors walk through.
