Angélica Dass, a photographer, has introduced the Museo Migrante Migrante (MMM), an interactive art initiative that gathers migration narratives through portraits and personal accounts. This project aims to encapsulate stories of migration, displacement, and return, focusing on themes of dignity and diversity. MMM operates on two fronts: MMM en Contenedor, a mobile exhibition and archive supported by the Ministry of Culture, which will tour Bilbao from May 5-10 and culminate on December 18, International Migrant Day; and MMM en Movimiento, a cultural activation tool that will travel to cities such as Madrid and Murcia. Additionally, the project features workshops and a multilingual online platform, in line with the objectives of the UN Global Compact for Migration.
