Memory work and Migration: Exploring the body as a living archive of intergenerational memories

How does a perspective on the body as a living archive of intergenerational memories inform approaches to migration and memory? How can an embodied and creative approach to ‘memory work’ help uncover, archive, and work through such memories? And how can this type of ‘memory work’ help migrants themselves redefine a sense of identity to live a better life?
