Ex umbra in solem - "From the shadow into the light"
Humans, no less than butterflies, are migratory creatures. We have been migrating on our planet for some 125, 000 years.
The earliest humans left their habitats due to natural causes. Today—north, south, east, and west—forced migration is happening on a massive scale due to entirely man-made circumstances. Political, religious, and military violence has forced millions of vulnerable people out of their homelands, with nowhere safe to settle. In our globalized world, all of humanity must be held responsible. Never has there been so much capital and knowledge at our disposal, yet we use these cultural tools to self-destructive ends.
This program evokes some aspects of refugees’ journeys.
