Migration biographies - a look at personal life stories
Behind every migration is a personal story of departure and arrival, of loss and hope.

People with a history of migration talk about their experiences and provide insights into their lives.
Together we will discuss what migration means for those arriving, but also how it shapes society and culture.

The event uses various approaches to show how migration biographies have moved and shaped people over the centuries.

On the podium with Gaset:
- Coumba Sow: FC Basel footballer and Swiss national team player
- Mustafa Atici: Member of the Basel-Stadt cantonal government
- Walter Leimgruber: Emeritus Professor of Cultural Studies and European Ethnology, University of Basel
- Hubert Lutz-Manser: retired vocational school teacher

Moderation:
- Jeannette Rauschert: State Archivist Canton Basel-Landschaft


Location: Baselland Cantonal Library
Organizer:in: Museum.BL, Cantonal Library Baselland, Augusta Raurica, State Archives Baselland
