Media Souvenir: Travel & Tourism in Contemporary Art Video

Media Souvenir is a video exhibition that relates to questions of travel and tourism in a time when numerous people are on the move due to immigration, education, freedom from war and poverty and visits to other distinct cultures. This exhibition, sponsored by the Centre For Art Tapes, was created from a national call to distributors and individuals, resulting in a program that encompasses all of these questions. Personal journeys predominate as children of immigrants return to their parents’ culture in an attempt to come to terms with a past that challenges their expectations. Tourists, in both national and international environments, try to overcome their outsider positions through various strategies of cultural fusion.
