The exhibition brings together eight biographical portraits of people whose lives have been shaped by displacement, racism, anti-Semitism, anti-Gypsyism, honour-based violence or an insecure immigration status. The stories illustrate different experiences of exclusion, but also raise questions about how we talk about discrimination and which perspectives are often overlooked in the process.

Following a guided tour of the exhibition, guests are invited to take part in a discussion. Together, we will explore the questions raised by the exhibition, encouraging an exchange of different perspectives on exclusion, belonging and social coexistence, whilst also discussing how the biographical experiences of those portrayed can contribute to current debates on cohesion and solidarity.

• The exhibition will be on display from 26 November 2026 to 10 January 2027 in the foyer of the FMP1 Conference Centre.

The exhibition was created as part of the ‘WERTE – what unites us’ project by the Kurdish Community in Germany.

The project is funded under the federal programme “Demokra e leben!” run by the Federal Ministry of Education, Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth.
