People are only too happy to talk about migration and flight as a burning contemporary “problem” that should be “solved” as quickly as possible; once we do, there will finally be peace and unity again. In the process, they overlook how human history is characterized by migratory movements in search of food, homes, and security.

Even Graz, known far beyond its borders as the “most German city of the Habsburg monarchy,” has willingly overlooked its history of heterogeneity. There are enough traces if one simply looks: for example, the so-called Windische Herrengasse (“Slovenian Herrengasse”) and Welsche Kirche (“Italian Church”) or the number of non-German speakers in the 1880 census. In art, there are also numerous references that prove how central migratory movements have been for mankind. A cluster of exhibitions in thirteen locations traces their history to the present.
