1. International Smugglers' Conference

Escape Aid: New Light on an Old Profession!

Graz, Forum Stadtpark, 21.11.-23.11.2003

In autumn 2003 the series Escape Aid: New Light on an Old Profession! could be continued in Graz during the European Cutural Capital year with the 1st International Smugglers’ Conference.

The development is pacing: economically, the undocumented human traffic was again a growth accelerator in 2003. Instead of deregulating or creating future-oriented conditions for a responsible globalization, the political subjects of public international law entrap themselves further in new protectorates and special guidelines leading away from the concept of human rights.

The meeting focused on possible movements under the conditions of the state
symbol management. Following the invitation of schleuser.net, artists and scientists came to Graz to introduce their work and different strategies of acting flexibly under continuously changing conditions. The meeting was an interdisciplinary and public think-tank.

The intention of the conference was to strengthen the network of information and positions concerning undocumented traveling for theory and practical use. The partaking guests from different European countries could gather information about many facets of undocumented migration in films, presentations, exhibitions and readings, and they could discuss possibilities of intervention to improve the conditions of cross-border mobility.

Participants:
Andreas Beisbart, Alex Gerbaulet, Juanita Rosina Henning, Farida Heuck,
Ralf Homann, Martin Krenn, Tanja Ostojic, Manuela Unverdorben.
