A
kind of "self service station", the video library includes
a selection of 28 video and film works dealing with the issue
of migration and language. The works, available on VHS, can
be watched on two monitors with headphones in the library
of the SI. The video library offers the viewer a quiet and
focused environment using an existing structure of the library
of the Institute.
The
issue of migration with all its political and social aspects
- immigrant experiences, racism and prejudices against foreigners,
work/labor exploitation - has become more urgent through recent
political events: the rise of right wing governments, the
increased influence of nationalist parties and the discussion
of new immigration policies in Europe and the US.
The
selected works focus on aspects and effects of the phenomena
of globalization, the flow of goods, capital and labor, the
meaning of borders and the importance of language. They tell
stories of migrants who leave their home countries driven
by poverty, persecution, or just the hope for a better life,
and talk about challenges they face in their new homes. The
program is a personal selection of works of artists and filmmakers
examining these issues. It is to be understood as work in
progress, which aims to raise awareness and discussion.
