Museum of Diaspora

The museum attempts to understand diaspora as a permanently displaced and relocated collective. The history of diaspora suggests a movement from suffering and exile to choice, from permanent to temporary. The project focuses on Tourism, as not only a radical type of diaspora, but its future form. Tourism forms a collective culture of its own, and within it exists a new taxonomy of spaces. A complex system of controls are then calibrated to create a museum where galleries, retail, performance spaces, artists and visitors can interlace and redefine existing patterns of exchange.
