Immigrate, Relocate | Artist Books Unshelved

In this episode of Artist's Books Unshelved, we look at two carefully researched and crafted artist
books that explore immigration. The featured books, “This Land: Anna's Journal of Migration &
Internment,” by Lesia Maruschak, and “Koryo Saram,” by Evgenia Kim, have crafted stories that
illuminate the experiences of their Ukranian-Canadian and Post-Soviet Korean ancestors and families, and how migration, forced incarceration, and exile impacts individuals across generations.

Artist’s Books Unshelved is an ongoing video series exploring selected pieces from the Cynthia Sears
Artist’s Books Collection where we will be diving into various Artist Books explaining their meanings
and sharing bits of the creative process from the Artists themselves.

These books are amazing both as stories and as art objects. And the way they were presented in this video was wonderful. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to commune with them from afar!
