The Roomart 2014 proposal runs parallel to this approach already settled in the dual perspective immigration-emigration. Well, if until recently, our cultural space was a clear receiver of foreign populations, now also incorporates itself to the migrant flow with their artists. Thus, in this bidirectional approach regarding to reception in our territorial space or distancing of the same, Roomart 2014 locates its third project for supporting young Valencian artists. And it does it in an attempt of encouraging the work of both; of those that have started their research outside their native range, and of those who are integrated in our society but they not born here and therefore this is not their original cultural context. Migrations, thus, as journeys that have opened new creative ways in the poetics of artists, whose materialisations cover a diversity of media, languages and disciplines.
The meanings of these current visual stories, defined through these new destinations are specified in the work of twelve Valencian artists whose aesthetic ways have drunk necessarily from a displacement. If experience precedes the work, then Roomart 2014-Visual Migrations aims to speak, in its third edition, about how these migrant processes have affected the interpretation of the contemporary world through the image draw up by our young artists.
