The Native and The Narrative

The world is in constant flux. Historically people and products have continually traversed the planet crossing time zones, oceans and borders: some visibly and others invisibly.

Crucially we are now at a time when the earth’s resources are being pushed to the limits. We are experiencing a spike in environmental disasters, extreme migration intolerance and a rapidly growing demand in unsustainable farming and production of consumer goods. However everything is connected and we all have a part to play in it.

The Native and The Narrative asks: Who are you? Where do you come from? Why do we move? Why are you here? How did you get here? Why does migration occur? Can you outline your journey below? How do you see migration tendencies in the world today?

By using the symbols and arrows from the key to trace our personal histories and global migration patterns we can chart and navigate our understanding of environmental issues and discuss future possibilities.
