Vernissage: Handle with Care – Eine Ausstellung über Erzählungen, Gefühle und Perspektiven aus der Migrationsgesellschaft

In the organizer's words:

Pride, joy, nostalgia, but also sadness, melancholy and anger: sometimes it's objects, sometimes situations, sometimes stories that can suddenly trigger intense feelings - both positive and negative.

Based on the collection of the Documentation Center and Museum on Migration in Germany (DOMiD) and with a view to its migration museum being built in Cologne-Kalk, the fourth DOMiDLab saw people from the urban community, exhibition designers, a co-curator and the DOMiD project team working on the following questions: How can objects and stories that trigger strong feelings - both positive and negative - be sensitively displayed in an exhibition ? How can a museum be designed that captures feelings, reacts to them and gives them space?

The result of the joint, participatory work is Handle with Care - an exhibition about stories, feelings and perspectives from the migration society. The exhibition is dedicated to different migration stories and the feelings associated with them. Handle with Care offers space for your own emotions and invites you to share your own perspectives and react to what is shown.
