Displaced Culture(s): Migration, Displacement, and the Shifting Cultural Landscape(s) of the Eastern Neighbourhood Countries is a publication that examines the cultural consequences of migration, displacement, and political transformation across six Eastern Partnership countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus in exile, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine.
Developed within the framework of the Independent Cultural Organisations Network ICON× in collaboration with the Danish Cultural Institute (DCI), it brings together perspectives from researchers and cultural practitioners who have been directly engaged with these processes since 2020.
Through a series of country-specific case studies, the authors analyse cultural migration as a structural condition shaping cultural production, memory politics, and institutional frameworks. At its core is the question of how cultural actors are disproportionately affected by political repression, armed conflict, and shrinking civic space — and how, at the same time, they become drivers of dialogue, resilience, and alternative narratives.
