We are excited to announce the publication and exhibition of the first MeDiMi Comic 'Birds in Limbo'! The output brings together fieldwork and archival work, but it starts from lived experiences. Drawing on encounters across different German cities, in streets, markets, institutions, and homes, the work reflects the many 'limbos' that shape migrant lives. What comes through are everyday realities shaped by violence, displacement, bureaucracy, and time, and by the constant work of navigating all of this. 

'Birds in Limbo' is a collaborative artwork by MeDiMi Research Associates Adriana Kessler, Anna Arden, Jessica Sarue Klüger, Laura Goller, Mina Ibrahim, Slađana Branković, and Tasnim Jabaly in conversation with Egyptian comics artist Amro Okacha. Over five months, they met through a series of workshops to share experiences and shape the narrative of the project. These workshops have been made possible through the support of the Gießener Graduiertenzentrum Sozial-, Wirtschafts- und Rechtswissenschaften.

The comic is currently exhibited at the Walltor 3 Stadtteilbüro in Giessen until August 6. It is also available open access here: https://jlupub.ub.uni-giessen.de/items/c0418b69-2e04-4687-9fdf-5b4233831217.
