Handmade concertina book, 7 cm x 7 cm

"Family Migrations" is part of the larger project "Kingdom of Chamla". Presented in this book are 20 border outlines which form a visual trace of my family’s migrations. It follows three generations of family members’ journeys to a new home dating from the 1940s to present day 2017. The mapping of these locations, although personal, aims to resonate with the wider issues of global migrations, in connection with political regimes, social and economic changes in Bulgaria and the world.
