Horizonte - Horizons: Geschichten und Zukunft der Migration / Histories and Future of Migration

Venturing into the unknown is one of the fundamental experiences of humanity, a throughline from the Stone Age to the space age, and part of every family history. Where to go? What to take with you? This volume introduces people who have become migrants for a large variety of reasons, including author Judith Kerr and artist Gerhard Richter. Their stories highlight that art and culture also depend on migration. Following the phases of migration, from departure to arrival and arriving, the volume’s authors describe experiences of migration. The final chapter is a glimpse into the future, i.e. mankind’s step into space between science and fiction.
