GRENZEN WEGDANCEN
2019 Graphite, Photoshop

This illustration was part of Movement Motus promotional purposes. Movement Motus(in short: MoMo), was a registered voluntary cooperation of young adults for the benefit of refugees in the years 2015-2020.

We established a series of parties: GRENZEN WEGDANCEN, that invited a wide variety of people to participate, regardless of social classes and categories. The parties provided a place to meet in a relaxed situation and a space to break down fears of contact. The funds generated at the parties were fully donated to selected local or global refugee organisations involved in humanitarian aid, education, outreach, trauma care, etc.

Our motivation was to give the refugee debate, which is often portrayed negatively and controversially in the german leading media and public discourse, a new approach and handling based on grassroots participation.
