Images of Migration – Bilder von und über Migration
Event location: Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung Berlin
The international conference of the project Migration Lab Germany at the University of Hildesheim will provide diverse insights into how images about migration are generated, used and transformed in social discourse and what role different contributors can play in this process. We bring together scholars and cultural practitioners, civil society projects, schools, museums, theaters and memorial sites to take a critical and forward-thinking look at the production and reflection of images of and about migration from the perspective of different disciplines. This exchange will address the following questions:
(a) How can contributors in the above-mentioned fields learn from each other when it comes to the use of images (photos, films, videos, drawings) in the process of generating knowledge about migration, integration and related diversity?
(b) How can educational, social and cultural sciences learn from each other with regard to the use of images in the dissemination of research results on the topic of migration?
(c) How can academia, civil society and culture work together to create new images of migration?
Conference participation is by invitation only and no longer possible.
