Publisher's Synopsis
Over the last decade, the role of diversity, migration, and representation in the German cultural sector has drastically changed. The PostHeimat network - a three-year experiment in networked solidarity between major German public theatres, migrant actors, directors, and researchers - grappled with how to think about home after migration. The contributions to this book document the problems and potentials of reflexive and research-based migrant theatre initiatives. Emerging from research encounters and performances across Germany, this study incorporates the critical perspectives of activists, artists, practitioners, scholars, and cultural mediators from these initiatives and does not shy away from an open reflection on the failures and pitfalls of well-intended cultural policies.
