Walks

Strolling through Global Metropolises of Exile

In six thematic walks through the METROMOD cities, the historical urban setting becomes tangible in the current metropolitan topographies. The walking tours connect sites of exilic artistic production, trace the migration of ideas and situate exchanges between locals and migrants.
