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? Regarding Youth and their roots, the individual passport-picture of my grandaunt, from 1957, represented a time in her youth when she made the conscientious decision to leave Jamaica for the United Kingdom, as-part of the Windrush-Generation, determined to make a better life. In her toil, she met her husband, a Jamaican, who too left the island with the same aim. Their Union, and commonality of being Jamaican-Diasporas Navigating identities, together in a new land and country, brought forth 7 children, 2 of whom are pictured in the second-photograph of the series. They represent the first-generation of the youth and their roots to be born in the United Kingdom. One of the daughters pictured, spawned children of her own, where one of her sons married a native of English soil. Together, the individual-and-generational experiences, of each photograph, represent the fabric and extension of our family, being Jamaican-Diasporas in the United Kingdom.

How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies? The pictures represent the association between identity and nature which recreates the Diaspora life of the photographer. The experience of settling in a different place far away from home is challenging. It comes with questions of identity issues and a sense of belonging. Having a dissimilar background, finding comfort in the experience of a new home is never easy. The symbol of nature helps in this place. The more you look deep into it, the more you will see the similarities between homelands and the destination country. The identity of nature does not lie, and it shows the beautiful history of the world. Whether in your homeland or new land, nature will teach you to love the environment and the people. Your look at it identifies your world wherever you live.

How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies? En Córdoba, provincia mediterránea de Argentina, la comunidad de migrantes mexicanos, que son unos 300, invitó a otras comunidades (peruana, boliviana, ecuatoriana, paraguaya, haitiana, chilena, venezolana) a participar de la celebración del "Día de Muertos" que es una fiesta tradicional en su patria. Compartieron ritos, costumbres, comidas y se mezclaron con locales y sus tradiciones ya adoptadas por quienes viven en estas tierras. Así se puede ver una mexicana pintando catrina en un rostro argentino (foto 1), una mexicana ofreciendo un mate, que es tradicional en Argentina, en un altar preparado con ofrendas de todos los pueblos mencionados (foto 2) y una Venezolana cocinando arepas y de fondo se visualizan las banderas de su país de origen y el adoptado (foto 3). En las tres fotos se trabaja el desenfoque selectivo, para hacer hincapié en la actividad que da el sentido de pertenencia y la sociedad donde lo hace.

    72 Thu, 11/03/2022 - 20:10 Anonymous English 200.69.125.158 Andrés Pérez Venezuelan Bogotá Bogotá Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of) Colombia Professional Transiently Navigating identities: is there a relationship between Diaspora’s homeland and new land? How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies? 7 million people have migrated from Venezuela due to the humanitarian crisis. Some studies reveal that almost 1 million Venezuelan migrants are LGBTIQ+ people. We know that migration is a complex political and human circumstance, but there is more difficulty when the migrant condition is connected to situations of identity, gender and diverse sex. In the series Transiently, through the story of Aurora (19) trans woman, we explore the relationship that exists between the country of origin and the host country as the possibility of continuing to rewrite personal history with dignity. For that reason we migrate from hostile contexts where fundamental human rights vanish. So too do personal memories and bonds fade. Although LGBTIQ+ people resist in a limbo that connects their past in Venezuela with a present that becomes a promise of freedom. In this process the diverse body becomes the only permanent place.

How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies? La serie fotográfica que presento a continuación, representa el inicio de un viaje de reconocimiento a lo que parecía muy lejano a mí, a mi realidad (un nuevo país) pero que ha terminado siendo un nuevo hogar. Darse cuenta que a donde llegas tienes vecinos, a quienes saludas desde la ventana, que en el mercado preguntas y te atienden a veces con tus propias jergas o que incorporas comidas en tus rutinas que antes no conocías, atenúa las diferencias y en vez de alejar, la curiosidad de relacionarse crea lazos entre unos y otros que terminan afianzando identidades marcadas más allá que de una nacionalidad por una experiencia. A partir de aquí, cada imagen es un símbolo de integración, pues haber caminado entre estas personas, conversado con algunas, es representación que nuestro viaje ha podido coincidir y convivir, superando temores o rechazos pues al final, somos de un mismo continente

This is a familiar scenery when traveling from one island to another in the Philippines. Young Filipino boys, and sometimes young girls, jump in for coins. This is done before the passenger ferry leaves the port. Some young people jump into the water from bangkas (boats) to collect coins scattered by passengers. These boys compete against each other to acquire and obtain the coins. It's not an easy feat and quite dangerous if you're a skilled swimmer. It may be a form of entertainment for us tourists, but for these young lads, this means livelihood and food money for their families.

How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies? Internal migration is as major a societal concern as emigration because individuals and families who choose to move and settle in another region always bring with them the reasons for their decision. Like Sitti, who decided to resettle to Mabalacat City from her conflict-torn birthplace in Mindanao in search of greener pastures. With her growing family, she and her husband now have their own source of income and peaceful nights' sleep...far from where she came from.

    She did not tell me where she came from in order to protect their home from further prejudice, but she is very hopeful that she will be able to return and live there again.

How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies? Libreville is a city with a strong foreign community. In this photographic series we are going to introduce you to a member of the Beninese community which is one of the biggest in Gabon. Pascal is a cab driver in the city of Libreville. As soon as you get into his cab, you are automatically attracted by his traditional Beninese dress and the two flags of Gabon and Benin that fly on board his car. It is therefore not difficult to notice and understand his attachment to his diaspora's homeland Benin and new land Gabon. Pascal is therefore part of the Beninese diaspora living in Gabon.

    63 Wed, 11/02/2022 - 23:47 Anonymous Español 200.90.6.135 Maxwell Adrian Briceño Godoy Venezuelan caracas distrito capital Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of) Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of) Amateur El Quilombo Navigating identities: is there a relationship between Diaspora’s homeland and new land? 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?
    Este proyecto es una serie de fotos e historias de personas que hacen vida en la Comunidad El Quilombo, un sector que nació en Caracas al oeste de la ciudad cercana a la comuna donde vivo en el sector de Catia, es esta la cercanía que genera la inquietud de conocer e involucrarme con la comunidad Haitiana que distinguía a diario en el barrio.

    El proyecto ahonda en escenarios que involucran la emocionalidad de haitianos y haitianas, migrantes cuya mayoría están carentes de compañía familiar, que no dominan el idioma español debido su francofonía natal y que están insertos en una sociedad que a pesar de todo han logrado coexistir generando un mestizaje y crecimiento de la comunidad entre Haitianos y Venezolanos a lo largo de los años.

    Esta cercanía me ha permitido conocer sus procesos de adaptación y generar lazos de amistad a pesar de las múltiples barreras culturales.

Ellas tuvieron que abandonar su país de origen, enfrentando muchos obstáculos llegaron a colombia; al comienzo colombia los recibió con mucho amor , pero al pasar los días, la población venezolana iba inundando este país y con ellos comenzó a entrar gran parte de la delincuencia generando la peor imagen y en ese momento se dispara una xenofobia. Los Colombianos sentían que la población venezolana le estaba quitando oportunidades ya que este país carece de trabajo y ademas otra parte ellos entraron a delinquir. Esta situación se vuelve incómoda para la población de venezuela, ya nadie quería darles trabajo, muchos de ellos comenzaron a botar todo lo que los identificaba. y a pesar de la discriminación, queda una mínima población que usa su bandera con orgullo, como estas mujeres que presento en las fotos, que a pesar de la xenofobia que existe en Colombia tienen sentido de pertenencia .

REMEMBERING A FAREWELL:
    "My dreams are different, I am going to leave," Romelia insisted to her family. She was 15 years old then, and has been living irregularly in the United States for three years.

    According to Arnulfo Mejía, her granddaughter Romelia studies and works "over there", but her roots stays connected in her land and family. "She has already come of age," he says with nostalgic eyes, while pointing to the wall that still holds the memory of the granddaughter he may never see again.

    Arnulfo Mejía lives in Pin Pin canton, a quiet and natural community of San Marcos, located more than 300 kilometers west of Guatemala City (in Central America). He is one of the beneficiaries of the Addressing the Root Causes of Irregular Migration project, implemented by IOM and supported by USAID.

    57 Wed, 11/02/2022 - 10:47 Anonymous Español 184.85.101.82 Mithail Afrige Chowdhury Bangladeshi Dhaka Dhaka Bangladesh Bangladesh Amateur I am a Rohingya Refugee Navigating identities: is there a relationship between Diaspora’s homeland and new land? How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies? Risking death by sea or on foot, nearly 700000 rohingya people have been forced to flee from Myanmar to Bangladesh since August, 2017 due to state sponsored military crackdown.While Rohingyas are dissimilar to the Burmese, they (Rohingyas) are similar to Bangladeshi citizens to some extent,in terms of appearance, language, food and clothing, and most importantly, religion.
    A major driving force behind Rohingya exodus to Bangladesh is religion.
    The Rohingyas assume that Bangladesh is a Muslim majority country; the commonality of
    religion between the Rohingyas and the Bangladeshi people would enable a safe resort for the
    Rohingyas to live in peace in Bangladesh, and let them do their religious practices. Their
    assumptions became true partly. However, religious similarity does not resolve the issues around
    their legal status and identity crisis. Despite being exploited, many Rohingyas retain a firm belief
    in their connection to their land, Burma, and their ethnic identity.
