Community-Debates: Who cooks who?

The climate crisis is a class crisis. The climate crisis is migration. Many refugees today are already climate refugees – while migration laws are becoming stricter. It is getting hotter in desert refugee camps, while sea levels rise elsewhere. How do local and diasporic actors view the causes and effects of global warming? Where can eco-racist patterns be identified? In the onsen, these questions are quite literally discussed in hot water.

The heated seating pool built by raumlabor serves as a “treatment plant” during the festival, hosting a discourse from a migrantized perspective under the artistic direction of Anas Aboura and Larry Macaulay. With Migrantpolitan, a migrant actor is part of the hosting institution, forming a largely self-organized link to activist groups and diverse diasporic artist communities.
