In the context of the German cultural weeks a photo exhibition about the "Greek migration to Germany between 1960 and 1980" was presented in the Goethe-Institute Salonika. Altogether 40 pictures out of the DOMiD-collection documented the way of the Greek migrants from the first arrival until their settling in Germany.
The website "Route of Migration" was created by DOMiD, lichtbild and the regional commissioner for integration in North Rhine-Westphalia. It shows the ways of emigrants and immgrants on the map und presents many different places of memory in a country, which has been formed by migration in specific manner.
Within the scope of the "Project Migration" DOMiD developed in cooperation with other research institutions an exhibition of the same name on migration in Germany, which was shown at four central places in Cologne.
The website "Arrived... Migrants stories from 40 years" was developed in cooperation between the LzZ NRW and DOMiD. It tells the story ot the Spain and Portuguesian guestworkers, which since the 1960s regulary arrived in special trains at the railway station Cologne-Deutz. Among them was also the Portuguesian Armando Rodrigues de Sá, the Millionth guestworker in Germany.
33 foil-clad pictures in black and white give an insight into the life of the so-called "guestworkers" in Germany. The specific: The story of the migrants is told in their own point of view. Because of that up to now hidden sides of German immigration history can come to light.
This bilingual exhibition (German/Turkish) showed the history of labour migration from Turkey to Cologne from 1961 till the early 1990s. But it told the story in the point of view of the so-called "guestworkers", their family, friends and workmates. Unexpected stories came to light, which contradicted the stereotyped ideas of migration.
This exhibition tells the story of the recruitment of Turkish workers and their life in West Germany in the 1960s and 1970s. It consists of 32 pictures in black and white. The exhibition has so far been shown in more than 30 cities in Germany.
For the first time it was possible to research in the files of German as well as Turkish authorities. A Turkish curator helped to choose the sources and to present them in a bilingual exhibition (German/Turkish). More than 40 percent of the visitors were of Turkish background.
