In the first half of the year several fieldwork visits took place. During this research period Kolar Aparna and Beatrice Catanzaro with representatives from various local aid organizations and civil society members, activists, politicians and scientists, in order to discuss perceptions, ideas and experiences relating to issues of migration at local and international levels.
To conclude the long term residency (2016 – 2017) on borders and migrations by Kolar Aparna (geographer, NL) and Beatrice Catanzaro (artist, IT) the audio track YOU ARE BUT YOU ARE NOT has been launched in May. The audio drama is trilingual, consists of three chapters and it is conceived as a permanent intervention for the city of Bolzano/Bozen. It starts at the train station and from where it guides the listener along the „borders“ of the city on a given route through the area of the train station to the Rosegger Park in front of the Questura (state police station).
