The film relates the experience of #transborder workers who commute every day between #Poland and #Brandenburg, where they work at the tesla gigafactory, or the warehouses of DHL, amazon and other international corporations.

Great to be at #DGSKA2025 where I'm not only because I'm #opentowork but also to present at a fascinating P020 (11:30-13:00 slot) about #everydayactivism of #transborderworkers in #Brandenburg.
Protests attract attention, but the activism of migrant workers remains invisible. Join us to hear more!

We explore how transborder workers, very present in the Polish-German #border region, remain largely invisible for local populations; how different lifeworlds intersect or remain separate; and how #multimodal #methods can make these invisibilities, intersections and disjunctions more tangible.

β€œeveryone [in #Poland] thinks of them as suicide bombers, right? (...) No. With the ones I worked with, it was… (…) for me, they were very decent”.

Three Short Films About Everyday (Migrant) Activism
Please join us for the screening of three short films and a discussion about everyday (migrant) activism. Together with the creators, Piotr Goldstein and Phaedra Douzina-Bakalaki, we will talk about what activism is. Does it only happen in organizations and movements? Does all activism make sense? Who can become an activist? Who are β€˜professional activists’, and who will never be β€˜socially active’? Finally, how can we decolonise the ways in which we research, think, and talk about activism?

In early June the VISION team went for a field visit to Romania. We explored the city of IaΘ™i and rural areas around the city, met local researchers and talked to people in the region. It was a great experience and a very fruitful short research stay! Here is a short clip we recorded on the road.
