All Directions

Alle Richtingen, one of the permanent exhibitions at Fenix, highlights migration through a variety of works by contemporary artists. The art showcases tangible memories, and brings themes such as identity, borders, and happiness closer to home.

The open spaces of Fenix invite visitors to step into the stories of migrants told by more than a hundred artists from around the world. The art allows visitors to empathise with the emotions of migration, such as love, sadness, and hope. Alle Richtingen brings the timeless relevance of migration to life in tangible art, such as a fabric bus in which you are surrounded by impressions and scents of New York, a tent from a refugee camp, suitcases and colourful bottari that contain stories, one of the very first stateless passports, and intimate photography from the significant history of migration.
