BECOMING
Art as a process of transformation, migration, growth and redefinition
This issue explores becoming not as a final result, but as an ongoing process. A state of movement. A space between who we were and who we are becoming as artists.
We focus on practices shaped by transition: migration, shifts in identity, changes in artistic language, new cultural contexts, and conscious evolution of one’s career and voice.
BECOMING brings together international artists whose work reflects growth, resilience, and redefinition — whether subtle or radical, internal or visible in form.
About the Issue
Art is not static. Neither is the artist.
BECOMING is about:
- transformation as a creative force
- the artist in motion – geographically, conceptually, emotionally
- redefining one’s practice and professional narrative
- art created in transition, not after it
This issue is especially relevant for artists building international careers, portfolio visibility, and long-term professional positioning, including visa-focused artistic paths.
