Summary: 

Ulises 2.0 presents the display included in the Ulises 2.0 exhibition (2008) and the book-catalogue, published jointly by Asociación Zubietxe and Azkuna Zentroa – Alhóndiga Bilbao. People born in 13 countries and residing in 25 cities took part in this work to create dialogues revolving around that difficult journey they undertook from each place of origin.
The illustrations cover the entire process, from deciding to leave their own country to integration in the society which took them in, showing everything in all its diversity, i.e. the reasons leading to migration, profile of the migrant, and gender idiosyncrasies or problems encountered throughout the different stages they go through.
Each of the works done by the migrants has been adapted by a professional illustrator, among whom are professionals such as Paco Roca, Manuel Bartual, Raquel Alzate, Sonia Pulido, Lola Lorente and Javier de Isusi
Thus, Ulises 2.0 provides the opportunity to see how two artists with apparently totally different lives are capable of understanding each other because, above all, they two people.
