We live in a more connected world than ever before. We can cross the seas, travel through the air, and find ourselves in a completely different place with the click of a button. We can send a message, take a photograph, or make a video call and speak to someone on the other side of the world in a matter of seconds.

The movement of people and connecting stories throughout the world has been an inspiration for artists for centuries. Be it the result of travel, work, conflict or disasters, artists look at how we choose or are forced to move and how we make our mark on the world around us.

From travelling across the sea to performing on the world stage, the selection of artworks below shows how our world is forever changing.
