Süße Heimat. Deutsch-türkisches Leben in der Kunst
In the organizer's words:
What is home? A place or a landscape? A language or music? A smell or a taste? And what does it mean when you have to find a new home? Since the recruitment agreement signed in 1961, many Turks have come to Germany to work here. They were called "guest workers" at the time, although they usually experienced little hospitality. Leaving for a time often turned into an attempt to find a permanent home in a foreign culture.
People from Turkey also came to the Westphalian Ruhr region and the city of Ahlen from the 1960s onwards to find work at the Westfalen colliery. Many of them stayed after the mine closed in 2000 and have long since become part of the city's society. For this reason, the Ahlen Art Museum is taking an in-depth look at artistic reflections on migrant experiences.
In an extensive group exhibition with 16 renowned artists, the focus is on memories of what was left behind at home, hopes associated with a new beginning in a foreign country and the difficult commuting between different cultures.
