Summary/Abstract: In this paper, I will deal with transdisciplinary artistic and media practices on the example of a project “Migrations in Art – the Art of Migrations” that was realized by the Galleryof Matica Srpska in Novi Sad, Serbia. This project is a good example of interdisciplinaryconnection on the topic of migration, a topic that I also deal with in my PhD dissertation. Iwould especially like to refer to the new theoretical and sociological readings in this exampleand the way in which certain practices have been applied and linked in this project. I will alsoshow why this approach is very important for understanding the way the issue of migrantsand migration are presented in the media and in artistic practice, which significantly impliesthe presentation of this very important 21st-century issue. I would try to shift the focus towardmigrant corridors and new tendencies in art projects that provide “flashbacks” to the past andsearch for connective tissue with the present.
