Accessibility:
- The meeting point is approximately a 7-minute walk from both Afrikanische Straße and Rehberge stations on the U6 U-Bahn line, as well as their respective bus stops. Both U-Bahn stations are equipped with step-free access.
- En-route support personnel available for people with disabilities.
- The route is wheelchair accessible via marked sidewalks and park paths.
- Accessible bathrooms are available at the meeting point and end point of the route.
- Rest points available along the way.

This walk opens up a fugitive learning space: one that resists the prescriptive and embraces the messy, liminal terrains where transformation takes shape. Moving through Volkspark Rehberge and Wedding, we navigate a district shaped by diasporic presence, leftist working-class struggles and Germany’s colonial history. 

Through sharing personal narratives, readings, and collective dialogue, the walk engages with themes of migration, remembrance culture, and resistance. 

Drawing on Fred Moten’s undercommons and bell hooks’ pedagogy of transgression, along the way, we reflect on our own positionalities and how these crossings inform our artistic practices. We interrogate migration myths and narratives around movement, labor, and citizenship, questioning who is allowed to belong and under what terms. In unpacking the figure of the „good immigrant“, we expose how states determine usefulness and value, reinforcing racialised hierarchies of inclusion and exclusion.

Project In/Visibility is a research collective led by anthropologist Tasnim Elboute and marine biologist Samirah Siddiqui. Project In/Visibility troubles and disrupts dominant narratives in environmental and conservation university classrooms by amplifying perspectives and lived experiences from the forefront of Indigenous and local communities working on ecological restoration and preservation. They combine and build from the experience of Project Myopia, a participatory crowdsourcing platform that amplifies diverse voices in arts and humanities academia, and frontline environmental workers, activists, and stewards.

Part of PATH 2: TRESPASS & TRANSIT (on migration and access)
With contributions by Alternative Monument, Nour Sokhon, Minh Duc Pham, Project In/Visibility (Samirah Siddiqui & Tasnim Elboute)

To be in motion is at the core of migration, dislocation, and displacement — a quiet unraveling from a once-known ground. Such movements can be chosen or forced, desired or inevitable. These movements may be voluntary or forced, driven by hope, necessity, or survival. Borders, both visible and invisible, dictate who moves freely and who must trespass.

This Path explores movement as both lived experience and political condition. The contributions consider what a monument to migration in public space might look like (Alternative Monument); the revisiting of a former refugee camp of East German citizens through the act of collecting flowers (Minh Duc Pham); containers in a harbor as symbol of motion and vessels of emotion through sound (Nour Sokhon); and the urgency of decolonial engagement by walking a colonial site, addressing the erasure of Palestinian solidarity and the limits of remembrance culture in Berlin.
