Discover the diverse journeys of migrants across time and their search for freedom and opportunity. Some moved by choice, while others fled conflict, discrimination, or colonial rule. Wherever they went, migrants brought along the artistic traditions and ideas of their homelands, transforming the cultures they joined. Explore artists such as David Bomberg, Alan Beeton, Frank Auerbach and Amedeo Modigliani.
