And what role can a museum play in times of mass migration? Taking as its starting point the 2019 exhibition \u003ci\u003eMigration: Traces in an Art Collection\u003c\/i\u003e, which featured more than a hundred works from Malm  Konstmuseum made between 1880 and today, this publication brings to light the radical approach of museum director Ernst Fischer, who in 1945 transformed the museum into a refugee shelter for survivors of German concentration camps. It also highlights the museum's long-forgotten Latvian Collection, comprised of art acquired in solidarity with the young Baltic nation and its exiles. Contrasting works by exiled artists such as Sonia Delaunay-Terk, Lotte Laserstein, Endre Nemes, and Peter Weiss further animate the discussion, as do the geopolitical concerns of Pia Arke,  yvind Fahlstr m, and Charlotte Johannesson. Correspondingly, a conversation with the exhibition's curators foregrounds the ways in which today's artists reflect upon and articulate experiences of migration. Together, these re-readings of the collection and its potential contribute to an urgent debate on the role of museums in our time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eErnst Fischer, Lars-Erik Hjertstr m Lappalainen, Maria Lind, Lotte L vholm, Joanna Warsza, and Cecilia Widenheim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sternberg Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783956795473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.40w x 1.00d","brand":"Maria Lind","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40239859990709,"sku":"9783956795473","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_8e39fadf-c3bb-40a4-a5c5-564287f44237.jpg?v=1623726440","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/migration-traces-in-an-art-collection-9783956795473","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
