Conference: Music, Migration, Belonging/s

The conference “Music, Migration, Belonging/s" provides a discursive space to specifically engage with the connections and interdependencies of music, migration, and (non-)belonging/s, with a focus on 21st-century Europe. We seek to collectively scrutinize the concept of belonging within the realm of music, exploring this as both a challenge and opportunity for music and migration studies. We aim to discuss how belonging as a theoretical perspective can help us grasp the dynamics, intersections, contradictions, and constants in the lives of migrated individuals/groups connected through music, deliberately opening the perspective beyond ethnic/national identities.
