Here we present the sources (articles, books, book chapters, etc.) that specifically address arts and migration. They are sorted thematically (by topics) and geographically (a lot of sources describe migration and art in specific countries/on specific continents, so we have decided to facilitate the search by this kind of grouping)

The Oxford Handbook of Greek Drama in the Americas is the first collection of essays to discuss the presence of Greek drama across the continents and archipelagos of the Americas from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present. The classics have never been tied by geographical nor linguistic boundaries, and in the case of the Americas long colonial histories have often imposed those boundaries arbitrarily. This compendious volume tracks networks across continents and oceans and uncovers the ways in which the shared histories and practices in the performance arts in the Americas have routinely defied national boundaries. Lavishly illustrated and with contributions from Classicists, Latin American specialists, Theatre and Performance theorists, and historians, there are also interviews with writers. This 52-chapter volume seeks to define the complex contours of the reception of Greek drama in the Americas. (provided by the publisher – at the link above)

The Palgrave Handbook of Theatre and Migration provides a wide survey of theatre and performance practices related to the experience of global movements, both in historical and contemporary contexts. Given the largest number of people ever suffering from forced displacement today, much of the book centres around the topic of refuge and exile and the role of theatre in addressing these issues. The book is structured in six sections, the first of which is dedicated to the major theoretical concepts related to the field of theatre and migration including exile, refuge, displacement, asylum seeking, colonialism, human rights, globalization, and nomadism. The subsequent sections are devoted to several dozen case studies across various geographies and time periods that highlight, describe and analyse different theatre practices related to migration. The volume serves as a prestigious reference work to help theatre practitioners, students, scholars, and educators navigate the complex field of theatre and migration.

This book explores ground-breaking new directions and critical discourse in the field of intercultural theatre and performance while surveying key debates concerning interculturalism as an aesthetic and ethical series of encounters in theatre and performance from the 1960s onwards. The handbook’s global coverage challenges understandings of intercultural theatre and performance that continue to prioritise case studies emerging primarily from the West and executed by elite artists. The volume offers an alternative and multi-vocal view of what interculturalism might offer as a theoretical keyword to the future of theatre and performance studies, while also contributing an energized reassessment of the vociferous debates that have long accompanied its critical and practical usage in a performance context.

Over the recent period, we successfully – or less successfully – managed to survive the global COVID-19 pandemic. We came to realise how fragile and manipulative is the space in which we found ourselves. Hoax became yet another globally mighty topic that flew out of the pandemic vortex. We are still unable to contain this phenomenon that insidiously and cynically plays into the hands of anti-democratic forces that exist in relation to the war in Ukraine and everywhere where dictatorships reign. All these phenomena came into consideration when the Theatre Institute in Bratislava (www.theatre.sk/en) planned the 2023 edition of the Nová dráma/New Drama Festival. It addressed the theme of exile within the framework of the international theatre conference – Theatre in Exile. (from the introduction)
