In the organizer's words:

Migration means "long-term relocation of the center of life". Migration has shaped human coexistence since the beginning - it opens up spaces for encounters, exchange and change. Over the centuries, it has fostered significant cultural and evolutionary developments. Four lectures from the fields of work, art and biology will shed light on the opportunities and potential of migration processes.
