"Are you from Mumbai?" It's a question most people living in this megapolis have no easy answers for. When do you truly belong in a city? When you own a home in it, but your residence proof still has the address of your hometown? Or, when you arrive in it for the first time but feel like home instantly? Or, is it when you finally pick up the local language just so you won't be harassed with "outsider" barbs? The human phenomenon of migration acquires new layers of complication as India becomes more urbanised, and the world, a global village.

Grappling with this phenomenon is the day-long Migration Museum at the Godrej India Culture Lab (GICL), which includes discussions, film screenings, performances and an art exhibition curated by the lab's team in conjunction with students who are a part of its leadership programme. "The idea of a pop-up museum is something we have played with since the lab came into being because not all things need to be permanent. In the context of the current theme, it almost becomes poetic because migration itself is transient," says Parmesh Shahani, head, GICL, adding, "It is an important issue today if you think of the Indian elections, Trump building a wall or what's happening in Europe. There are conversations around identity and belonging that need to be had."
