Good Luck! Migration Today - Perspectives from Vienna, Belgrade, Zagreb and Istanbul
Linked by the Austrian government's policy to recruit workers from Croatia, Serbia and Turkey in the 1960s, these four countries experienced new migratory movements in the last 20 years. Former classical emigration countries such as Turkey and former Yugoslavia have become immigration destinations as well, as is vividly proven by Belgrade's Chinese community and Moldavian nurses in Istanbul.
The project "Good Luck!" looks at migratory movements and policies in Austria, Croatia, Serbia and Turkey since the late 1980s and their cultural and economic aftermath
Exhibition and research project
The project is centered around cooperations between activists, scientists, artists and cultural producers from Vienna, Istanbul, Belgrade and Zagreb. The products are developed by translocal research teams and will be shown in a documentary and an art exhibition in Belgrade's Kontekst Galerija, Istanbul's Ciragan Su Deposu and Vienna's Semperdepot. The international symposium in Zagreb from 8-10 May was the first public event within the transnational exhibition project "Good Luck!".
