Migration Mapping is a living digital archive, resource guide, and research hub on media and migration. It seeks to identify, describe, and track the various mediated forms through which we make sense of migration as human practice.

Migration Mapping is the foundational project of the Media+Migration Lab (M2Lab), an experimental platform for exploring and creating the prismatic spaces, hues, and textures of media and migration. The M2Lab is housed in the School of Media Studies at The New School, New York.
