#1 Introduction to Season 2: Migration–Perspectives on Displacement in the Anthropocene
Field Station 5
Welcome back to Field Station 5: a project that explores the geospatial politics of the human-centered era known as the Anthropocene through site-specific outposts & in-depth analysis to instigate who, what, when, and how we’re (re)defining “the human.” While Season 1 focused on the context of the Mississippi Delta, in this season, the field station finds itself stationed in Berlin, Germany the country which leads the EU in taking in migrants and has shaped the conversation on the EU’s so-called migrant crisis of 2015. This season, host Abbéy Odunlami sits down with artists, scholars, activists, data scientists, climate policy advisors, and migration researchers to understand what migration means to this section of the global north.

#4: Migration from the Outside Looking In
In Germany, being labelled as a person with a “migration background” comes with various forms of discrimination. What do people who have lived this have to say about it?
