Lorelei Ensemble - Impermanence

Migration of peoples across borders has shaped the human experience for millennia. While securing permanent shelter�a home�has become a goal for the majority of individuals in our world, migration remains one of our main strategies for survival. Today, tens of millions of individuals live a nomadic lifestyle as hunter gatherers or pastoralists. Pilgrims seek moral or spiritual signi?cance through extended physical journeys. Immigrants and refugees seek freedom, stability, and safety in a new community or country. Whether physical or metaphysical, humanity survives by way of continuous movement�our culture, beliefs, and histories are marked by impermanence.
