Introduction
ANCB, in collaboration with the ZEIT-Stiftung, invites protagonists from literature, sociology, arts and civil society for a conversation, a reading or a performance about land and territory, the concepts of ownership and translocation, protection and borders. Some participants will also share their personal experience with exile, transit, inclusion and exclusion, longing and belonging, adding a special voice to these global, challenging and pressing themes.
This series is part of ANCB’s long-term programme Borders and Territories: Identity in Place, discussing the spatial consequences of geopolitical, socio-cultural, economic and ecological aspects of home, displacement, migration and identity in a transdisciplinary dialogue. It also represents a continuation of the project Transit Spaces in collaboration with the ZEIT-Stiftung.
Programme
Gazmend Kapllani, Writer and Journalist, Chicago
