5. digital new art award
„fremde heimat–homeless at home” 2002

Topic

The 5th dna award focused on the very current and sensitive issue of immigration. Its „problematic nature“ has many well-known causes. On the one hand, the voluntary movement of those who leave their home because of new employment or personal challenges. On the other, there is the forced movement of those who are fleeing from poverty, war or persecution. Leaving the place that we call home – whatever one connects with it – can have many causes but it always means conflict. Conflict with a new situation in life, with a new culture and language, with something foreign that now should become home.
Closing Date: May 31, 2002
