Welcome to the Living Room!

 

The Migrationlab “Welcome to the Living Room!” Experience (WTTLR) is a public living room, co-designed and co-created together with migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and local communities in different European urban spaces. 
 

The Migrationlab public living room is a safe space of encounter and communication, which enables these communities to come together to get to know each other, share life experiences and stories by using different artistic forms, and start a conversation about how to live together in the same street, neighbourhood or city. 

The Migrationlab WTTLR Experience takes shape through a co-design process that we specifically created, where different communities think and work together on creating this space of encounter and dialogue in their neighbourhood or city, according to their needs, feelings, ideas and creativity.

European urban spaces we transformed to a
Migrationlab public living room:

 Artistic spaces, art galleries, a room in a former bread factory, the attic of a museum and a fisherman refugee boat we sailed with on Amsterdam waters that transported 282 refugees from Egypt to Lampedusa.
