Abstract

This response to Marni Binder reflects upon two examples of (im)migrant children's artwork and challenges the dominant notion that (im)migration experiences - and their subsequent portrayals - can be fit into neat slots. The authors position multimodal composing opportunities as affording children a vital instrument for deploying their full semiotic repertoires to defy stereotypes and capture the complexities of experience.
