Saboura Naqshband

It showcases stories of migrants and their descendants in Germany: a monument for a Pakistani poet, the payslips of a Turkish Gastarbeiter, three sisters turning a decolonial gaze on Bavarian history.

Inspired by the Parables of the African-American futurist author Octavia E.

The poetic piece expresses a queer utopian imaginary, a longing to create out of the old something new.
