Resumo: Forced migration is one of the most pressing issues of current and recent times. How refugees, one category of forced migrant, manage their condition of being unwillingly in a foreign land is a question that deserves further examination. This paper focuses on the Chilean exile during the Pinochet regime, and examines a dimension of their experience: their engagement with art from their home country. It explores the meanings that such art held for them, and the effects that the exiles attribute to their engagement with it.
