Join us for the opening of our latest exhibition- "Strategies of Resistance: Immigrant Bodies Beyond Assimilation!"
In the field of migration studies, the concept of “acculturation strategies” describes the various ways in which immigrants navigate their cultural identity within a new host society. This process is often narrowly framed, with generational practices of resistance adopting strategies ranging from complete assimilation into the dominant culture to the rigid preservation of their heritage. However, this binary overlooks the nuanced and subversive tactics many immigrants and their descendants employ to resist cultural erasure and assert their rightful place in the social fabric.
