What is essential in the nowadays conversation about humanity that emerges from the diasporic phenomenon that has become increasingly prominent in recent times? And what is the most appropriate understanding of land and home we belong to, regardless of territorial boundaries and limited socio-cultural roots? In the dynamics of human global migrations and mobilities, we can draw any kinds of poetic imagination that metaphorically raises our attention to justice and equity. However, how do those poetic aspects relate to the real lives, bodies, and territories of the people and sites? Several contemporary artists try to redefine their relationship with the environment they are staying in into artistic acts and intimate communication. Of course, it might be a place occupied temporarily or permanently. In their view, how do artists make the issue of home and land their subject matter? How do they represent and employ it within their artistic experiments as part of their affirmation of belonging? Furthering the questions, is the diaspora, international, and transnational, just imaginative maps of global human relations, or does it still have value in the process of becoming a freedom human?
