What connects us. Expericences of Forced Migration

Together with the Friedland Museum and the Documentation Centre for Displacement, Expulsion and Reconciliation, the Berlin Wall Foundation is launching a project that will establish new connections on the topics of flight and migration at the Marienfelde Refugee Centre until March 2025. As part of the project the Foundation is implementing the sub-project "Treffpunkt Flucht. A multimedia exhibition intervention". The aim is to link the existing narratives of the history of German flight in the permanent exhibition of the Marienfelde Refugee Centre with other perspectives on the place of remembrance and to make them tangible through a multimedia exhibition intervention. Methodologically, new possibilities of co-creative exhibition curation will be tested with approaches of curatorial dreaming. In several interdisciplinary workshops, new perspectives and possible connections will be developed together with experts who themselves have histories of flight. The aim is to expand forms of cultural participation alongside the narrative interweavings within an established permanent exhibition and to reflect on the question of what constitutes good cooperation in curatorial practice. As a result of the exchange across institutions, the Foundation intends to publish a handout with lessons learned from the collaboration between curation, education and outreach.
