The Justice, Arts, and Migration Network (JAM) is a network of thinkers, cultural researchers, and arts practitioners, formed initially through the collaboration between the University of Lincoln and Hong Kong Baptist University. The network hopes to develop itself into an international consortium through which to explore the role of arts practice in articulating the status of citizenship and belonging for migrant demographics, to deploy creative research methodologies in the discovery and analysis of migrant perspectives within and across national and sub-national borders, and to reframe and re-test contemporary theoretical articulations of the migrant condition through situated arts-based interventions.

The symposium covers a variety of topics including marriage migration in Taiwan, a migrant community project in South West Sydney, the Algerian and Vietnamese refugees, the exiled political activists, artists and intellectuals from the Middle East and North Africa, minority talent and aesthetics in Hong Kong and Taiwan, documenting ecological changes across Tibet, as well as immigration detention in the UK.
