Vienna is Austria’s cultural melting pot. Today, around 20,000 people from Latin America and the Caribbean live in the capital. They are active in many areas of city life and enrich Vienna’s culture in lively and diverse ways. Their different migration experiences since 1945 are being collected as part of a large-scale EU-funded project (CERV programme). The focus is on encounter, participation and dialogue. People from around 20 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean – from different generations and with different life stories – have shared their experiences in very personal ways: through interviews, photographs, documents, textile works and joint city tours. The result is a new, multi-voiced archive that enriches Vienna’s culture of remembrance and adds important perspectives to the city’s history. The exhibition takes up the collected impressions and makes them accessible to a wide audience. The various chapters tell of life between several worlds, of holding on to one’s roots and of starting afresh in a foreign environment. They record significant places for the Latin American-Caribbean communities in Vienna and reflect the thoughts and feelings that arise when people who share a common yet highly personal migration experience come into conversation with one another.
