10. “Grätzlmarie” projects: focus on community building

10.4 “Grätzlkino“: a musical and cinematic home in the diaspora

The screening of the film “Aşk, Mark ve Ölüm – Liebe, D-Mark und Tod”, which tells migration stories from a musical angle, was preceded by a performance by Turkish-Kurdish musicians, who provided an overview of the great sonic and rhythmic variety of that region in the diaspora. Keynotes by organisations that offer counselling and support and are actively committed to better social interactions between different population groups addressed the need for improvement. In this way, the evening fostered discussion and an analysis of the meaning of “home” within the Turkish-Kurdish community. The screening in Paltrampark was well attended and a great success!
