New Exhibition „Arriving? Migration, Faith and Identity” Opens in Konstanz

July 21, 2025; cw

How do migration and faith shape the lives of individuals? How do they influence and change a cityscape such as that of the city of Konstanz, which people have been migrating to and from since ancient times? The new exhibition "Arriving? Migration, Faith and Identity” investigates these questions, using interactive technologies as well as artificial intelligence to allow visitors an immersive experience of the topic.

The exhibition was curated by students from the University of Konstanz, the HTWG Konstanz, and the HFM Trossingen as their final project for the teaching module Media Exhibition Design. The teaching module is being taught in Konstanz since 2013 and was originally designed by SFB-TRR 161 project leader Harald Reiterer (C01) and his colleague Eberhard Schlag from the architecture and design faculty at the HTWG Konstanz. Harald Reiterer’s expertise on multimodal interaction concepts for mobile computing as well as mixed reality are an integral part of the teaching concept. For the 2025 exhibition, the teaching team was also joined by Jonathan Wieland, doctoral researcher in Project C01. The SFB-TRR 161 additonally supports the exhibition with funds from Project Ö “Public Relations".

The exhibition opened on July 18, 2025, at the Turm zur Katz, Konstanz and runs until October 23, 2025. For more information about the exhibition and the venue visit https://ankommen-ausstellung.de/
