Call for entries

"REFUGEE!"

*artvideoKoeln* is looking for artvideos dealing with the topic of
“refugees” to take part in an exhibition project to be realised 2016 and
later.

There are currently more than 60 millions of refugees on the globe, people
who left their home country in order to escape war, persecution and murder,
but also poverty and the lack of any perspectives.

People in Europe speak currently of the “refugee crisis”, as if the streams
of refugees would come by coincidence. In fact, Europe and the old European
colonial superpowers , eg Great Britain and France, and on a smaller scale
Spain and Portgal prepared the fertile soil for all current conflicts, wars
and civil wars in Middle East, Asia and Africa. When the colonial powers
left the stage, after World War II other imperial powers – like USA and
Russia – were replacing them and continued again the powergames at the
expenses of the local people anywhere. They were feeding the current local
Islam dominated powers in Middle East and their main tool to expand power,
the terrorism. In the current “crisis”, Europe – meanwhile shrinked to an
irrelevant local power – is taking the position of a silent observer with
fatal effects.

It is said, the refugee crises would be the biggest since World War II, but
the transmigration of people does not represent a new phenomenon in the
history of human civilization, it is even like that, that the phenomenon of
transmigration was always initiating a new era, a renewal and an important
step forward to a next level of human civilization.

But the open call would like to get down to the human dimensions, since the
refugees are human individuals who are forced to leave their home countries
in order to get shelter, protection and perspectives for survival
elsewhere. Do or did they find the “promissed land” – temporarily or for
sure?

Artists and video makers are invited to submit and spotlight this human
dimension and the diversity of reasons and motivations to become a refugee.
