Geteilte Welten: Dinge der Verbundenheit

In the organizer's words:

An exhibition about transnational care

How do people stay connected across borders and continents?

Shared Worlds explores this question and focuses on transnational care in migrant contexts. Care that is expressed by sending or bringing things. For many families, this is part of everyday life: gifts when visiting home, parcels with clothes, food or small special items such as perfume and sweets.

These practices of caring and sharing deal with questions of identity, belonging and connection. They show what meanings people give to things and how migration changes these meanings.

Divided Worlds presents four interviews with migrants as well as their suitcases, parcels and the things they contain as material traces of closeness, memory and care.

The exhibition can be seen opposite the Museum of Art and Cultural History in HANS B.

The exhibition is sponsored by Interkultur Ruhr and the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia.

A project within the framework of KOMMEN BLEIBEN GEHEN - Creative projects at temporary locations.
