The volume includes a preface by Professor Oliver Botar, setting the stage for a diverse array of essays contributed by esteemed faculty members from both institutions. Among the highlights are contributions from additional School of Art faculty:

This collection covers topics ranging from cyclical and imposed mobility to artistic interpretations of nomadism, identity, memory, and transnational integration.
