Halle Exhibition Celebrates Young Migrants Defying Prejudice in Eastern Germany

A new exhibition in Halle is putting the spotlight on young people with migration backgrounds and BI_PoC in eastern Germany. Titled Against All Odds! Post-Migrant Youth Shaping the East, it showcases the stories of nine activists and initiatives overcoming prejudice and systemic challenges. The project is a joint effort between the City Museum Halle, DaMOst e.V., and the Youth and Student Association of Germans from Russia in Saxony-Anhalt (JSDR e.V.).

The exhibition offers a direct look at the daily realities of young (post-)migrants and BI_PoC in the region. Through personal accounts, it addresses racism, violence, and the struggle for visibility. Despite these obstacles, the featured individuals have built networks and spaces for empowerment, driving social change in their communities.

Developed with backing from the German Foundation for Engagement and Volunteering, the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, and the Heidehof Foundation, the project has already toured eight cities as part of the *Cooperation Network for Diversity and Cohesion*. This initiative falls under the federal programme *Living Democracy!* The exhibition's run in Halle coincides with the *Education Weeks Against Racism*, organised by *Halle Against the Right – Alliance for Civil Courage* and Friedenskreis Halle e.V. After its current display, it will travel to Leipzig in April 2026, Dresden in June 2026, and Rostock in September 2026, concluding its tour in October 2026.

The exhibition highlights both the resilience of young activists and the ongoing need for inclusion in eastern Germany. By sharing unfiltered experiences, it aims to inspire broader conversations about diversity and solidarity. The tour's final stops will bring these stories to even more communities across the region.
