Submit your project to M2Lab

The Media+Migration Lab (M2Lab) is an experimental platform for exploring and creating the prismatic spaces, hues, and textures of migration. The M2Lab seeks innovative ways to capture, record, express, or imagine this movement in the context of wider social and cultural practices.

We are seeking innovative media projects that address at least one of the following themes:

State and Nationalism
– Borders
– The rise of new nationalisms
– Identity and nationalism
– Media policies of inclusion/exclusion

Infrastructures of Migration
– Detention centers
– Places of refuge
– Migrants in the educational system
– Papers, please: documents and discrimination

Data and Migration
– Information gathering
– Interview techniques
– Surveillance systems
– Mapping identities

Migration and Creative Thought
– Reshaping identities
– Social media and representation
– Cinematic migration
– Linguistic fusion and confusion
– Migration of media

Accepted projects will be hosted on the M2Lab website, https://www.m2lab.net.

Migration Mapping is the foundational project of M2Lab. It is a living digital archive for ongoing media investigations into migration, from ephemeral news reports, maps, graphs, and social media exchanges, to art, photography, films, and digital stories.

Is there an artwork, book, website, film, news item, or form of media about migration we should know about? Contribute to our datasets in the Migration Mapping archives or propose an article for the Migration Mapping newsletter.

Accepted contributions will be hosted on the Migration Mapping website, https://migrationmapping.org.
