Ankommen – Ohne Worte

“Arriving – Without Words. Variations of and Reflections on The Arrival“

 

As part of the program "Eine Uni, Ein Buch" – sponsored by the "Stifterverband"and the "ZEIT Verlag" – the Art & Design Faculty of the University of Europe for Applied Sciences (UE) in Hamburg engaged with the Graphic Novel "The Arrival" by Shaun Tan across multiple fields of study.

In his book (published in 2006), Shaun Tan tells a visual narrative about the necessity of leaving home and arriving in a new place. A noteworthy characteristic of this story-telling method is that he entirely foregoes the use of written text. Beyond a language that relies on words, "The Arrival" visualizes a story that promises universal relatability and can adopt a representative function for numerous stories. At the same time, the graphic novel points beyond its central themes since the experiences of escape, migration, and arrival – while indeed forming a collective – are always highly individual as well.

Based on the graphic novel, the symposium "Arriving - Without Words. Reflections on The Arrival" seeks to create a space for analysis, reports, and perspectives that mirror the multi-facetted character, challenges, and realities of fleeing, migration, and arrival.

In conjunction, the Altonaer Museum features the exhibition "Arriving - Without Words. Variations of The Arrival". Here, students of the UE present their work, the results of projects that were inspired by the intensive engagement with Shaun Tan's novel. These cinematic and artistic artifacts vary narratively and visually and span the extensive thematic field from escape to arrival.
