Angelos and Gea talk with Nick about the concept of the festival, the connection with Ukraine and possible difficulties they may face crossing the border. Nick told us about the experimental music being improvised or prearranged that visitors can expect there. Since Nick is originally from Ukraine and lives in Austria for 10 years, he has many insights about the living situation of his friends and relatives surrounded by war. Ipek opened the second part of the interview towards the discussion of the questions such as:
Do artists in Russia show solidarity with Ukrainians? Should Ukraine continue to fight? What do the EU and the USA want to do? How will the war go on?
*the interview is in german and english language*
Information zur Sendereihe
We are people who are commonly called migrants and asylum seekers. We want to cross borders set by definitions and get in dialogue with communities, politics, the economy, social and cultural life.
The project informs citizens that migration is a complex, multidimensional phenomenon and a political issue that requires efforts and concrete actions by people and organisations/networks at all levels of society.
