ACCESS Our space is accessible by wheelchair

The exhibition project CLOSE TO HOME: REMITTANCE SPACES BETWEEN ARRIVAL AND RETURN is an exploration of everyday migrant worlds, an appreciation for transnational care practices and an invitation to rethink the idea of home as something that is not only left or found, but also created, inherited and shared. It invites us to understand migration not only as a movement of people, but also as a multi-layered exchange of meanings, forms and memories. At its core, it considers remittance beyond financial transfers: as emotional, cultural, and creative flows moving between places of origin and arrival. They manifest themselves in architecture, music, textiles, food, objects and everyday cultures - and thus shape urban spaces as well as individual identities.

CLOSE TO HOME brings together various artistic positions that take up, reflect and transform these multi-layered aspects of remittances. The exhibition is not intended to establish a linear narrative or an ordered structure, but to be experienced as a dense collage of voices, images, objects and sounds - a place where space is given to the fragmentary, the untranslatable and the contradictory.

COOPERATION The exhibition opening is taking place in the framework of Berlin Art Week.

FUNDING The project is funded by Hauptstadtkulturfonds.
