Peggy Komvotea created The European Migration Journey Museum - an interactive digital space including photographs and artworks representing a number of migration periods. Also on display are virtual 3D artworks and installations and a space for visitors to upload their own stories.
‘I would like to keep working on this project because it’s an interactive project that calls people to join and upload their stories. It’s very exciting to see how this project succeeds and if people can share their stories and learn about other people’s stories.’ Peggy Komvotea

During these months, I have been able to explore all the innovations being made in this field and connect them with my artistic, historical and philosophical interests.’ Janire Goikoetxea
