How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies? Sandra, una Venezolana que llega hace unos años al sur de Colombia. Su identidad se entreteje en medio del viento frío del Valle de Atriz y el calor musical de Barquisimeto. La diversidad se reconoce a través del sabor de las arepas venezolanas y las empanadas argentinas, receta de su esposo un argentino que ha viajado por Colombia durante 7 años; y que producen una maravillosa tensión la cual da vida y sazón a "Gauchito el ché" un café, restaurante lleno de tradición e identidad latinoamericana. Un trabajo etnográfico realizado en la ciudad de Pasto Colombia, y que expresa y representa el sentido de pertenencia de Sandra y Andrés, y de sus tradiciones en una ciudad y contexto ajenos.

How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies?, Diasporas as influencers: how does the diaspora contribute positively to their societies through the use of technology? In the times of a heavy influence of a post colonial era, it has been a great leap for Africans living in the diaspora to communicate, eat, enhance their standard of living and to cater for their accommodation needs. In this series of photographs, I explore the overlapping contrasts of poverty and wealth. On the one hand the people are living in abject poverty, however, technology and infrastructure
    seems to be evolving in a certain direction. It brings the question of how do we asa society neglect basic needs over multinational projects, which only benefit a few? Vegetable sales and the background of a cluttered and chaotic infrastructure/buildings, overpower him.Powerlines, telephone towers are erect. In the background a community farms , keeping to their traditions of their roots and although of migration, they are still using their skills which they were handed down by their forefathers.

My series showcase the amazing experiences of living outside my country. The amazing food, cultures, sunsets and most importantly the friendships built with people from other countries too based on our mutual interests and passions. The challenges can be overwhelming and sometimes hinder our ability to see the silent beauties of the new places that we find ourselves in. It also showcases some visible effects of climate change which i relate to as silence. Most of the effects of climate change are described by silence. When there are no trees animals leave and therefore the space become silent. When rivers are dry there is no more sound because of the missing water flow so the river becomes silent. When there is a drought and floods people die and therefore the spaces become silent. All these silences are audible as they indicate a lack of something.

How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies? El barrio, La Florida, ubicado en el norte de Quito, fue nombrado entre el 2008 y 2010 por los medios de comunicación como “La Pequeña Habana”. En el territorio habitan varias familias migrantes, en su mayoría, venezolanas y colombianas, quienes encontraron como forma de sustento, la creación de pequeños negocios de comida típica. En los locales se puede observar la convivencia de culturas a través de la preparación de platillos típicos, tanto de sus países como de Ecuador. Por otro lado, la decoración de los sitios tiene objetos muy representativos de sus países. Tanto la comida como los objetos son expresiones identitarias que muestran como las personas en situación de movilidad humana van tejiendo sentidos de pertenencia y transformando un mismo territorio.

Navigating identities: is there a relationship between Diaspora’s homeland and new land? How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies?, Diasporas helping their communities: what is it like to assist communities during a crisis? Existence of diasporas is very important factor what needs to be discussed nowadays. World is facing increased number of external and internal migration. Several cultures are affected my forced migration, and prevalent situation may become a future concern.
    Many years ago relatives of Elena have been sent to another country due to political changes in the country at that time. After some years the situation has been changed, however that family became integrated in a new society. Nowadays they keep Russian traditions for honey processing and coping with the harsh weather conditions that affect not only their budget but also budget of others involved.
    Protection of diaspora must be addressed, and maybe the next step is to use internet technologies to help Elena for achieving her goal.

How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies? What could be more rare to be in contact with a culture so different than your own. Leaving the Caribbean, for thousands of kilometers away from its cultural space, do you feel acculturated? No, we embrace the culture of the other, we learn. Through us, we get involved in spreading Caribbean culture to others and vice versa. Being on a new land is accepted to respect the culture, but also to share its culture, Fez which is the very soul of Moroccan culture has this particularity to enrich our cultural vision and rekindle the flame of a shock culture between two different areas. But it is also encouraging others not to let themselves be indoctrinated by prejudice, but in turn to fully experience this Berber culture.

    migrantes, el día del arribo es una fecha inolvidable, en mi caso, una madrugada irrepetible.
    Está serie fotográfica representa el primer mes de mi llegada a New York. La primera imagen es el sueño (cansancio), americano, que
    padecemos muchos de los que arrancamos de cero. En mi caso, un: Dish washer. La segunda
    imagen, es la desason que me produjo siempre, el verme perdido en la madrugada, por calles
    desconocidas del lejano oeste, o el West Bronx; luego de intetar tomar un bus, o equivocarme
    en las paradas. Momentos en los que aparece el cuestionamiento: ;que carajos hago aquí;...

How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies? With “Origins”, Tidou attempts to define the concept of culture and how it shapes through time and space. Her works disembowel the cultural layers embodied by a person and shows the various identities one could carry. Every day the selves of multicultural people imbricate, using the correct layout to occupy more space in reality – or being repressed to blend in a specific environment. The goal of „Origins“ is to create a visual conversational space for and with diasporas. In each photograph, the border of their country of “Origin” is the line that connects the different identities carried by these people part of the diaspora in Europe. (Kenya, Santa Lucia , Zimbabwe, Gambia borders are visible on these photographs) . Crossing the physical border of our country is mostly when we start developping other identities.

How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies?, Youth and their roots: what is it like to be born or grow up as a member of the diaspora; how can the youth connect with their homeland?, Diasporas helping their communities: what is it like to assist communities during a crisis? This series depict the shared carnage indiscriminate burning of natural habitat and deforestation has on the environment and life in general . Despite the wave of migration occasioned by the search for better living conditions, escape from insecurity and other adverse conditions, humans have historically found ways to adapt and collaborate for survival. A common prevalent theme is the sense of belonging derived from a shared ethnicity, religion, and other avenues for community building noticeable in the diaspora. These support structures foster cohesion amidst diversity and inadvertently the kind of competition that drives growth both home and abroad. Hopefully this series of photographs is a wake up call for preservative efforts geared towards maintaining our natural habitats regardless of geographical location.

How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies? The Rohingya is a minor Muslim ethnic group living in Myanmar for centuries. However, due to the racism and many other socio-political issues accelerated by the majority in Myanmar, they became a victim of categorizing themselves as Bengali descendants; the recent migration began in August 2017 from Myanmar to Bangladesh. These people are deprived of their ethnic rights by their own country, which includes non-enlistment with 135 other official ethnic groups, as the Myanmar government has regarded them as stateless refugees from Bangladesh. Over one million Rohingyas used to live in Myanmar, and they are the most persecuted people in the world; their current exodus has made them more vulnerable. Diaspora to Rohingyas is still a nightmare.

El Reposo es un barrio en la zona norte de Quibdó (Chocó), que está compuesto en su mayoría por población desplazada por el conflicto armado en otras zonas del departamento. En este sentido, estos jóvenes, son los hijos de aquellas familias que vivieron la violencia en la ruralidad y que tuvieron que migrar al centro urbano para rehacer sus vidas. Al llegar, los jóvenes se encuentran con la estigmatización, la falta de oportunidades y el reclutamiento por parte de grupos armados urbanos. Sin embargo, a través de la danza y el trabajo colectivo, muchos de ellos se sobreponen a estas dinámicas, reconociendo sus raíces y viendo así, futuros distintos posibles. Es a través de la danza que los jóvenes reivindican el legado de sus ancestros que siglos atrás migraron de sus territorios originales, volviendo a través de esa memoria corporal a sus raíces como miembros de una diáspora que resiste.

Esta serie corresponde diferentes categorías (1,3 y 4) La comunidad haitiana en Tijuana ha crecido durante los últimos años y mientras que algunos conservan su vestimenta típica, otros prefieren por vestir con lo que la ciudad ofrece, pero algunos visten con lo que pueden conseguir, un contraste muy grande y un choque cultural de la comunidad haitiana en Tijuana. 1 Mantiene relación con su país de origen mediante la vestimenta. 2 Nacer o crecer como miembro de la diáspora y conectar con su tierra natal mediante sus familiares y amigos. 4 Porque la diáspora ayuda a las comunidades en tiempos de crisis el proceso de adaptación en el nuevo País es duro y más para algunos que no logran adaptarse al ritmo de la ciudad y es por eso que la diáspora debe crear conciencia para poder actuar a favor las comunidades migrantes alrededor del mundo.

Entre los adoquines de Tiradentes, mis ojos siguen tus huellas. Esta serie fotográfica fue producida en mi país de origen, Brasil, en vacaciones después de tres años sin poder ver a mis familiares por la pandemia. La intención de las imágenes es entregar valor a las especies de compañía, que por circunstancias de la vida, como la pandemia, fueron marginalizadas por la sociedad. Los registros de mi celular también buscan expresar recuerdos de mi pueblo, de una infancia que llevo en mi memoria afectiva. Creo que las imágenes tienen la capacidad de humanizar, concientizar y ayudar a otros seres vivos que hacen parte de nuestro ecosistema, aún viviendo en sociedades diferentes lo que nos une es nuestra capacidad de amar y comunicar.

No es fácil ser migrante venezolano, ya que muchas personas son racistas y cada día es una lucha constante por sobrevivir en un país ajeno, pero aún existen quienes quieren crear un mejor futuro. Mediante mingas se unieron grupos de migrantes venezolanos para arreglar el parque y pintar. Entre Risas y sonrisas los jóvenes pintaban al ritmo de la música, no les daba pena cantar ya que ellos eran alegres y siempre hacían lo que les nacía. . Puede que estecen por un corto tiempo pero se sienten parte del barrio y gustosos ayudan en la minga.
    Hay quienes tienen sueños y esos sueños no tienen limites, sean grandes o pequeños, de nosotros depende que se cumplan.

How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies? I was born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria,2022 My family and I relocated to Manitoba, Canada.
    In many ways, Canada is a good country to live in. The quality of life is high, and there are plenty of job opportunities I've enjoyed my time living in Canada for the diversity and the culture. Canada’s culture is underpinned by its tolerance, respect, and equality.
    Diaspora communities represent and maintain a culture different from those of the countries within which they are located.
    Powwows are celebrations that showcase Indigenous music, dances, regalia, food and crafts. powwows are often open to non-Indigenous and Métis and Inuit. This celebration helps express sense of belonging in multiple societies in Canada.
    We respect the efforts that Indigenous people have made to preserve and celebrate their culture despite centuries of oppression (that continues today).
    Thus, the relationship between homelands and diasporas becomes quite significant, it remains understudied.

How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies? La región fronteriza del Sur de México ha ofrecido durante muchos años oportunidades laborales y de mejor calidad de vida para miles de familias Guatemaltecas. En esta región, ambos países comparten muchos vínculos culturales y familiares, lo cual permite a la Diáspora Guatemalteca convivir con sus comunidades de destino, pero también la cercanía y las facilidades migratorias les permiten un constante ir y venir fronterizo. Esta diáspora expresa su sentido de pertenencia principalmente a través de sus familias, las cuales viajan juntas, cruzan la frontera, pero también conviven, juegan y se bañan en el Río del Suchiate, en Ciudad Hidalgo, frontera con Tecún Umán, Guatemala. Aquí es posible apreciar un dinamismo sin igual, lugar que también ha visto pasar las últimas caravanas de migrantes. El Río ha sido testigo del fluir de la diáspora que viaja en familias y es lugar en donde convergen y se entremezclan alegrías, sueños, esperanzas.

How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies? I began these photographic series a few years ago, while exploring my sense of belonging in foreign landscapes.
    The connection between my homeland and new land is nature. Being in nature for me is like being with my mother. It provides a sense of comfort and nurture, regardless of how different the landscapes of both homes feel.
    I express my sense of belonging by searching for pieces that remind me of home. However, it is a very complex feeling that moves me to photograph intuitively. For this series, I photographed myself, objects I brought from home, and my surroundings. I present this project as a series of diptychs. By juxtaposing the images, I hope to create a dialogue between them.
