Abstract

 Abstract
Art, by its nature, is a phenomenon that is affected by the change in society. theyare sources that bear the traces of the structure of society in the works. The artist is a developing and changing individual who lives in society and feeds  on  the  inferences  he  takes  from  society,  and  he  reflects  his  life,  the characteristics and structure of the society he is in, in his works. the change in life is reflected in the artist. Artworks are the reflection of the sociological, technological,  psychological   and   economic  changes   of   the  time.   If   the concept  of  migration  left  traces  in  the  artist'slife  and  past  during  the  time the  artwork  was  produced,  this can  also  be  seen  in  the  works  produced by the  artist.People  have  had  to  leave  the  regions  where  they  lived  for centuries  for  different  reasons.  This  separation,  expressed  with  the  concept of  migration,  brought  about  a  multi-faceted  effect  on  people  and  space,  far from  uniformity.  Migration has  enabled  the  belief,  thought  and  rules  of human  beings  to  change.  This  study  examined  the  migration  concept  by giving  examples  of  reflections  on  art  in  Turkey  and  the  world.In  today's contemporary  art,  migration  takes  place  a  lot.  Concepts  such  as  refugee, belonging, freedom, and life are important for artists to reflect the concept of migration to their work. Artists mostly focus on the effects of the causes and consequences of migration on individuals and societies. In Turkey, it is seen frequently  on  the  agenda  because  of  the  events  of migration  in the  art.  The interdisciplinary  expression  that  allows  the  creation  of  contemporary  art understanding  has  also  enabled  migration  to  be  addressed  in  all  aspects. Turkey  migration  linked  to  belonging  in  contemporary  art,  space,  identity, memory, alienation, counter-culture, the concept seems to be included in the practical arts.
