The spark for investigating borders comes from a need to discuss the struggles and triumphs of people with a migration background, often addressing issues of identity, displacement, and the search for belonging.
Borders - How do we create them, shift them, break them, redefine them?
During her residency at pIAR in Kumasi (Ghana), Alix documented objects and people within specific boundaries. The next step was a residency period in the Moussem Studios, where she focused on borders as a perception of safety. A prison. A home. A belief.
At Alkantara, Alix will continue to work on the material and will organize an exchange of snippets and thoughts with an audience for the first time.
The boundaries of where I belong. The boundaries of my home.
Home as a shrine.
Home in a traveling object.
Home as a mood.
Home as a feeling.
