Transience is
critiquing a greater narrative, while also celebrating transient, short-term
communities that form in airports. My
piece addresses concepts of multiculturalism because it is countering the
narratives that keep it hidden, or un-discussed. Traveling through an airport is not a
glamorous experience, but it does bring people together in ways we could not
hope for outside of air travel. We
create communities constantly, and create new ones the next place we stop to eat
or sit in airports. I want to celebrate
this – and argue that it shows hope for us, as a society, to grow together and
not further apart.
