Displaced Culture(s): Migration, Displacement, and the Shifting Cultural Landscapes of the Eastern Neighbourhood Countries examines how recent waves of migration, forced displacement, and political transformation have reshaped cultural ecosystems across Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine. Developed within the framework of the Independent Cultural Organisations Network | ICON in collaboration with the Danish Cultural Institute | DCI, the publication brings together interdisciplinary perspectives from researchers and cultural practitioners, as well as the collective expertise of ICON member organisations that have been directly engaged with these issues since 2020.
Through country-specific case studies, the authors critically analyse cultural migration as a structural condition affecting cultural production, memory politics, and institutional frameworks. It highlights how cultural actors are disproportionately impacted by political repression, war, and shrinking civic space, while also foregrounding their role in sustaining dialogue, resilience, and alternative narratives.
