Atelier Bordertextures: Thinking Bordertextures From and With Welcome Cultures

Thinking borders as textures invites to be attentive to the existence of a multiplicity of border realities and to the entangled and dynamic web of elements that constitute them. The lecture uses this approach and will look into the situated dynamics of bordertextures from the perspective of welcome cultures, which designate the array of grassroots solidarity initiatives that emerged in Europe following the long summer of migration (2015). Building on elements from a one-year ethnographic work in the Parisian welcome culture Lola Aubry will discuss such cultures as a positionality from which one can learn about processes of complication, multiplication, and texturization of border realities and how these dynamics matter in everyday welcome practices.
