Tue 29th Apr, 2025

The relationship between the refugee camp and the town of Traiskirchen has evolved over time, with each influencing the other significantly. Initiated during the tenure of former Mayor Andreas Babler from the Social Democratic Party (SPÖ), the desire to explore this dynamic through an exhibition has finally come to fruition.

This exhibition aims to shed light on the multifaceted nature of displacement and how it mirrors the various crises affecting our world today. By showcasing personal stories and experiences, the exhibition hopes to foster a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by refugees and the broader implications of global conflicts.

Visitors to the exhibition can expect a series of installations and narratives that highlight the human aspects of displacement. The organizers have collaborated with local artists and refugee communities to ensure an authentic representation of their experiences. This initiative not only aims to raise awareness but also encourages dialogue among community members about acceptance, empathy, and the need for solidarity in the face of adversity.

As Traiskirchen continues to be a focal point for many seeking asylum in Austria, the exhibition serves as a reminder of the pressing issues surrounding migration and the ongoing humanitarian crises worldwide. It is a call to action for local residents to engage with these themes and support those who have been uprooted from their homes.

Furthermore, this exhibition represents a significant step in recognizing and valuing the contributions of refugees to the local community, emphasizing that their presence enriches the cultural tapestry of Traiskirchen.

In addition to showcasing artistic works, the exhibition will host a series of discussions and workshops aimed at educating attendees about the realities of displacement and the intricacies of the asylum process. These sessions will provide a platform for refugees to share their stories directly, fostering a more personal connection between the audience and the subject matter.
