"Homeland - Europe" - A book project with refugees from Ukraine
In November and December 2022, the Wilhelm Fabry Museum hosted a photo workshop entitled "Homeland Europe". A workshop for people from Ukraine who had to leave their homeland for a time or maybe even forever...
In the course of this workshop, a book was created, which is now presented.
Hardly anything is better suited than photography to capture our homeland in all its differences and similarities and to show what makes it worth living and loving. This is another reason why the multilingual medium of photography was the linchpin of the "Heimat" project in Hilden.
The focus was on photos from the personal past that have a deep emotional meaning: Photos that can recall an entire history in memory. Originally intended as a personal memento, as evidence of what has been experienced and for communication, they now become ciphers for what has been painfully left behind. Countless of these images were brought out, discussed and finally selected for a collaborative book.
The book is published by Morisel Verlag, Munich, and will be available at the book presentation.
The project was realized with the help of the funding program "Sonnenstunden".
