Elektra founded Artist Migration in Paris back in 2008 as a response to witnessing the difficulty artists face in producing and disseminating their art abroad. Social bias of immigrant, poor, or minority artists in foreign countries made it necessary to rely on lenghty and often dead-end grant/residency/embassy or politically sponsored opportunity loops.

Carrie Pilto is an independent curator and writer based in Amsterdam, creating meaningful, world-class content for international art museums, book publishers, art galleries, and the private industry. Carrie's latest project "Someone is getting rich" at the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam explores the relationship between colonialism and the global financial system.
Dutch financial innovations, but also people – bankers, investors and savers – played an essential role in financing colonial campaigns and slavery plantations. In Someone is getting rich - assembled contemporary artists make visible that colonial inventions such as tradable shares and investment funds have shaped the global financial system. But above all, they reveal how the aftermath of colonialism is still embedded in the financial sector today.
Carrie was the first collaborator in Artist Migration and maintains the role of Guardian Angel - which includes final veto if something sucks. Occasionally, Carrie will send us some magic to produce.
