Exhibition

„A guest at home“

Migration and identity are among the central topics of current socio-political discourse. They are often characterised by a lack of objectivity and polemics, with political interests taking centre stage instead of socially unifying discussions.

We are living in a post-migrant era. As a country of immigration, Germany has been shaped over the last 70 years by people who have immigrated from different cultural backgrounds. Their children have been socialised here and are a natural and participatory part of society. Nevertheless, their identity and affiliation is constantly being questioned. Although they are at home in Germany, they are judged by their migration history, experience discrimination and are perceived as „different“ both in their own country and in their parents' home country. Their identity is ascribed from the outside and their belonging is questioned from more than one side; their homeland is a liminal space.

The interdisciplinary exhibition „In der Heimat zu Gast“ shows the positions of creative artists who see Germany as their home and are a participatory part of society. They make a significant contribution to the cultural landscape and thus to democratic emancipation. They convey the realisation that migrant culture is an essential element in shaping our cultural history.

Artistic direction: Janusz Czech
