What is this project all about?

The means that have been created since the Ukraine war regarding the supply and accommodation of Ukrainian refugees have once again shown how discrimination has long determined refugee policy.

The project "ANKOMMEN" is a visual study of the architectural infrastructure for the accommodation of refugees in Germany. Among other things, it deals with the questions of where integration begins, as well as the extent to which architecture can have a discriminatorMehr anzeigen

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

Through my work, I want to raise awareness of the impact of architecture for housing refugees and stimulate an exploration of the extent to which structural and institutional racism are embedded in our society and in architecture.

Why would you support this project?

With the support of the project, the possibility is created to realize the book and thus to enable a larger number of people to deal with the subject matter.

Since socio-political projects in the artistic field are not designed for commercial success, they always need people who believe in the impact and values of these works and want to promote them.

Feel free to share crowdfunding with other interested people as well. I'm grateful for all support!

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

A total of 16,800€ is required for the publication of the book, almost half of which is already financed through the publication grant from VG Bild-Kunst. The entire money will be used for the production of the book. On the one hand, this will pay for the production costs of the book, such as printing and binding, but also for the design, the introductory text and its translation, font licenses, colour proofs and, of course, the crowdfunding fees themselveMehr anzeigen

Who are the people behind the project?

I'm Malte, 26 years old, live and work as a photographer and visual artist in Hannover. After dropping out of my architecture studies, I have been studying photojournalism and documentary photography in Hannover since 2016. In 2018/19 I completed an Erasmus semester at the Royal Academy of Art the Hague. In my work, I use photography as well as other visual media as a means to reflect social structures as well as mechanisms of social order and control. In Mehr anzeigen
