'Migration ist die Revolution des 21. Jahrhunderts' mit Ivan Krastev

Unlike past revolutions that required manifestos or collective action, this revolution is driven by individuals and families empowered by cell phones and glimpses of a better life elsewhere, choosing "exit" over political change. In this sense, migration becomes both a personal strategy and a silent form of protest that transforms societies without direct confrontation. As more and more people choose mobility over voice, the political and cultural consequences challenge traditional notions of sovereignty and belonging.

This will be followed by a Q&A moderated by Vasyl Cherepanyn (Kyiv Biennial).
