WHO CARED? Generationengespräch über Care-Migration und Erinnerungskultur

In the organizer's words:

Intergenerational discussion about care migration and the culture of remembrance

A former nurse from Kerala in southern India talks about arriving, working and staying in Germany.

What boundaries does migration draw between the experiences of two generations?

How do the former nurses* view care, migration and their own history?

And what role is played by a society that knows little about it and repeats much of it?

The discussion is being organized in cooperation between the WHO CARED online archive, kohero magazine and the Museum der Arbeit.

The WHO CARED online archive records the life stories of people who moved to another country many years ago to work in nursing. The current focus is on nurses who came to Germany from Kerala in southern India. The special feature: They are interviewed by their children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews. Two video portraits are part of the exhibition "CARE! When love becomes work".

kohero magazine is a platform for inclusive reporting that makes the perspectives of people with migration and refugee experience visible. Through responsible journalism, the magazine aims to facilitate dialog and social cohesion.

In its current special exhibition "CARE! When love becomes work" focuses on care and the structures under which it takes place. It also looks at the many connections between care and migration and the history(ies) of care migration in Germany.
