Diaspora Flet 2025 - Culture as a Bridge | Identity, Integration, and Impact

How do people in the diaspora experience and express their identity of origin? How can art, media, and cultural heritage support integration in the host society? And is it natural to live between two worlds, that of origin and that of residence, without fully belonging to either? These questions shaped the panel “Culture as a Bridge: Identity, Integration, and Impact” at Diaspora Flet in Cologne on November 7. The discussion explored how art and culture serve as powerful bridges, preserving roots while creating space for contribution, dialogue, and connection within host societies. Moderated by Sabina C. of URACult e.V. Köln, the panel featured Lindita Arapi, journalist and author from Bonn; Mimoza Veliu, photographer and author from Berlin; Nermina Kukić, actress from Düsseldorf; and Shuk Orani, multimedia artist from Hamburg. Through their diverse experiences, they offered thoughtful reflections on identity, belonging, and cultural impact across borders.
