Musafiri: Of travelers and guests
Exhibition and research project
March 8-June 16
Public discourse and politics are increasingly characterized by fears - Germany is one of the most obvious examples of this. Fears that stem from a narrow, often hegemonic and at the same time localized view of the world. The exhibition Musafiri: Of Travelers and Guests is an urgent plea for the recognition and affirmation of the polyphonic worlds of all those who have detached themselves from the places of their origin and set out on the road.
The Arabic word musafir resounds with an astonishing phonetic coherence in different languages and cultural spaces. From Romanian to Turkish, Farsi, Urdu, Hindi, Swahili, Kazakh, Malay and Uyghur, its distribution covers an impressive geographical area. The exhibition takes us
through these geographies and the interwoven worlds of fearless travelers, of people who were involuntarily and brutally
involuntarily and brutally displaced individuals and communities in the past and the increasingly dramatic migration movements in the here and now.
