In the organizer's words:

Together with the artist Marina Markgraf, we will approach the question of what transnational care can look like from a material perspective.

The workshop takes place in the run-up to the exhibition "Geteilte Welten: Things of Connectedness", which will be on display at HANS B (opposite the Museum of Art and Cultural History) from mid-January. The exhibition deals with the question of how migrants care for each other across distances - by sending things or bringing them with them when they visit. Parcels, suitcases and small gifts travel between countries and families, bearing traces of closeness, longing and connection.

The workshop will provide an initial insight into the exhibition.

We will then create collages from a wide variety of materials: pictures, papers, elements from everyday life and memories. By tearing, layering and combining, new images are created that reveal personal perspectives on care, migration and the journey of things.

What do objects brought or sent tell us about relationships?

And what happens when we artistically reassemble these stories?

No previous knowledge is necessary - all you need is curiosity and a desire to experiment.
