The Aga Khan Museum (AKM) is celebrating the artistic contributions of newcomers in its "Season of Immigration" that will feature 51 visual artists, 15 performances and 10 speakers representing more than 50 countries. Many of the artists and speakers are immigrants or refugees themselves while other are descendants of recent immigrants. AKM's winter/spring 2020 season includes three exhibitions that showcase the creativity of migrants and the artistic contributions they are making around the world. Ulrike Al-Khamis, AKM's Director of collections and public programmes said: "We are proud to amplify the voices of artists and thinkers with deeply personal connections to migration. Their stories and the artistic practices they inspire have much to tell us about how immigration can enhance and enrich society."
