'This edited international collection of nine essays and twelve contemporary artists' work considers the complexities of the contemporary hybrid life experiences shared by so many of us in the twenty-first century. It explores the themes of diaspora, identity and the sense of belonging, considering what a beautiful life is like in a world in which domestic or international relocation is constant and how we experience memory, nostalgia and changing lives in the twenty-first century. In detail, it explores a range of themes such as the promise of cosmopolitanism, the dystopian and evanescent quality of Chinese art, a series of Documenta exhibitions, native nationalism and authenticity in Asian art, and working with an arts-based participatory methodology to conduct ethnographic, biographical forms of research.' - Ming Turner, excerpt from the Introduction
Includes bibliographical references, artists' statements and biographies, and contributors' biographies.
