Belonging: Navigating Artificial Borders

  • Michael Ukaegbu
Belonging: Navigating Artifical Borders is a zine I put together for Shades of Noir based on the topic of Belonging. This zine focuses on issues of nationality, citizenship and migration and how these issues affect real people; how it affects their work life, their mental heath and thier education. It looks at the concept of "Home" and what that really means. Whether it's a tangible thing, defined by a location or simply just a concept ? This is a collection of intergenerational voices detailing life living between two or more cultures, nationalities and histories as well as exploring the positives and negatives of being, such as agency, impacts on religion or faith practices, the accessibility of language, culture clashes, adjustments, hyper awareness and the navigation through diverse spaces.
