Sichtbarkeit & Blindheit – Die Repräsentation von Arbeitsmigrantinnen in Filmkunst

Between 1986 and 2021, three female filmmakers from three generations shot three documentaries on the same subject. As different as the works are, they seem to share the same motivation to tell the same story in new and different ways: the first female migrant workers of Turkish origin in Berlin.

The event series LIFE, LOVE, WORK & RESISTANCE brings together the pioneers of the Telefunken company's women's dormitory with their daughters and granddaughters, takes a look at the company's history between consumer electronics and arms production, examines the legendary wildcat strikes of the 1970s, discusses the visibility of female migrant workers in film art, and, last but not least, follows the traces of (post)migrant art and cultural practice from 1960 to the present day.
