East Side Story

East-Side-Story III: Frankfurt/Oder

These stories are the result of the workshop "Moments in Memory Spaces" during  lAbiRynT-Festival.

Participants re-enacted pictures of personal importance that people like to carry  on their cell phones. Often these pictures were not only taken in the past but also on very different and remote places on earth.

The stories 'behind' the pictures led to an exchange about different migration experiences and motivations.
