SOMEWHERE INBETWEEN
PhD, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Faculty of Philosophy, October 2024. Author: Melanie Garland
This project extends gratitude to the residents and volunteers of the communities with whom collaboration has taken place: Dzjangal, Tiburtina, and Los Arenales. The willingness to share migratory narratives, community archives, and moments of meaningful conviviality has been indispensable to this work. These writings and multimodal artworks are offered as a humble gift for the kindness and care received throughout this journey. A very special thanks to the voices featured in this project: Elizabeth Andrade, Davide Franceschini, Cristian Ochoa, and Kathy O’Hare.
