Migrantas
| a visual language of migration and living together
Working with public urban spaces as a platform, Migrantas uses pictograms to provide visibility to the thoughts and feelings of people who have left their own country and now live in a new one.
Mobility, migration and transculturality are not the exception in our world,
but are instead becoming the rule. Nevertheless, migrants and their experiences
remain often invisible to the majority of our society.
Migrantas works with issues of migration, identity and intercultural dialogue.
Their work incorporates tools from the visual arts, graphic design and social
sciences. The founders of the collective, who have immigrated to Germany, develop their projects with other migrants in workshops. The resulting
drawings are then condensed into pictograms and distributed in public spaces.
Workshops | Visual expression of one’s own story
Migrantas meets with migrants in their own collective spaces - organisations,
community centres, cultural groups - and organizes workshops to reflect together
on issues of migration. Migrants from very different national, cultural and
social backgrounds, also with different residency statuses, exchange their experiences
and express these in simple drawings.
Process | From drawing to pictogram
After a careful analysis of all the drawings from different workshops, migrantas
culls key elements and common themes from the drawings and translates these
central motifs visually and artistically into pictograms - a visual language
and a language accessible to everyone.
Pictograms | Simplicity and strength of expression
Pictograms are the visual language of migrantas. Their simple, universally understandable
images stir emotions: people from different backgrounds recognize themselves
in the representations, while others gain new insights or modify their own perspectives.
Result | Recognition and visibility
All migrantas projects end with an exhibition. The participants now see their
drawings presented in public and experience public recognition of their voices
and social participation. Visitors to the exhibition receive an opportunity
to become better acquainted with the experiences of migrant women.
Urban actions | Being a part of the city landscape
One of migrantas’ major goals is to make the pictograms visible in public
urban spaces. They appear as posters where there is normally advertising, as
projected digital animations on public screens, as flyers or postcards or shopping
bags. Migrant womens’ perspectives and lived realities are taken out of
the individual private space and made visible in the public space, thus creating
an encounter which triggers reactions and self-reflection in the passerby

Migrantas led a series of eye-level workshops in which 100 women with different migration histories living in Vienna and Austria captured their own lives in 189 drawings after visiting the exhibition "On Stage". These personal stories resulted in 17 pictograms that condense commonalities and transformed these experiences into collective voices. And these very voices became part of the exhibition they visited that day and were shown in public spaces. A project in cooperation with the NACHBARINNEN association in Vienna, the mumok - Museum of Modern Art Foundation Ludwig Vienna and the Migrantas collective as part of the EU project "The Floor is Yours"

Workshops In the months before the 48StNk Festival, the associations and initiatives based in the Berlin Global Village were invited to think about the representation of the realities of life with a view to social participation in an intercultural district like Neukölln. For this purpose, pictograms were selected that Migrantas developed as part of past projects on the topics of intercultural dialogue, migration, gender, health, environmental protection, the labor market and colonialism. The most representative pictograms were collectively selected to be displayed on an interactive art object with rotating cubes. During the festival, this art object was placed in front of the Berlin Global Village and invited people to interact with the images in different ways. A project in cooperation with the Partnership for Democracy Neukölln & Berlin Global Village as part of the 48-hour Neukölln and integration program.

| Unsere neue Welt - A visual language of diversity
| Berlin, DE
In cooperation with: 7. ISS Tempelhof-Schöneberg - Vörderverein
der Werner-Stephan-Oberschule e.V.
The students created through various forms of artistic expression, their
"Images of Diversity", and on the world map they build bridges
from their home countries to Berlin. They re discovered through photographs,
drawings and collages their school, their home, their neighborhood and their
city. Migrantas translated their drawings into three pictograms and printed
postcards. Greetings in the various mother tongues on the steps and a large
mural in the school show new immigration stories and cross-cultural identity
of the new generation in Berlin. Funding: Berliner Projektfonds Kulturelle

language of diversity | Berlin's 'Europaschulen", DE
SESB: Aziz Nesin Primary School (German/Türkish), Joan Miró
Primary School (German/Spanish) and the Finow Primary School (German/Italian).
In this project we will be working together with two school classes: one
from year 5, and the other from year 6. The project itself will develop
out of a dialogue with the school pupils, who come from German and various
other family backgrounds. This should lead to the production of pictures
highlighting the ways in which inter-cultural self-awareness is expressed
in everyday life. How is multi-linguality and multiple belonging experienced
when it has been part of daily life since a young age? The process through
which individuals develop self-awareness of their own cultural experiences
and learn to interpret them positively, is of central importance here. The
aim of the project is then to portray this self-awareness in public spaces.
This will be done via a fortnight-long presentation on the 'Berliner Fenster'
on the city's underground train network. At the same time an exhibition
in a central location will be held, and the press and everyone involved
in the project is invited to the opening event.

| Hier und Dort Heimat - Neue
Heimat – Zwischen den Welten | Zeppelin Museum Friedrichshafen, DE
Between March 5th and April 25th 2010 the Zeppelin Museum in Friedrichshafen
exhibited “pictures of immigration at the local, national and international
level”. On display were “works by artists who live and work
in Germany, as well as pieces with a specific focus on the theme of migration”.
Migrantas provided a number of exhibition pieces and organised a public
action: individuals were invited to take part in a 'workshop station', where
they were encouraged to draw about their own daily experiences and feelings
of 'a new homeland'. By the end of the exhibition migrantas had developed
three new pictograms which were then published as postcards.
Action: During the exhibition 1,000 bags printed with the
pictogram 'homeland here and there' were distributed.

women.

migration and integration, as well as for display in public institutions and is accompanied by a presentation given by members of the Kollektiv migrantas.

Bundesmigrantinnen
| Images of migration
in Germany's urban space
After completing our highly acclaimed projects in
Berlin, migrantas successfully expanded to other cities in Germany, including
Hamburg in 2007, Cologne in 2008, Berlin in 2013, Nuremberg in 2013 and Oldenburg in 2019. By making contact with local government
representatives in numerous places, migrantas began developing a network
which enabled us to further our socio-cultural project 'Bundesmigrantinnen
– Bilder der Migration im öffentlichen Raum'. Pictograms which
reflect the feelings and daily lives of migrant women not only highlight
many of the often quite local trends in the participants' migrational and
cultural backgrounds, they also depict the specific perceptions and realities
of life in Germany's various cities and regions.
We would be very happy to work together with individuals from other cities,
local government, and social or cultural institutions in order to continue
our project, 'Bundesmigrantinnen – Bilder der Migration im öffentlichen
Raum'.
