Suitcase stories

Migration stories about departures and arrivals spread all over the world, framed by a reflection by Adriaan van Dis

Migration stories about love and farewell, about coming home and feeling at home. About one side, the other side and the other side. Stories from then and now. Told, remembered, celebrated, discussed and shared by Karin Amatmoekrim and Abdelkader Benali, framed by a reflection by Adriaan van Dis

In the spring of 2025, FENIX will open: the first museum in the world that tells migration stories with art. Part of the permanent collection is a maze built from thousands of suitcases from home and abroad. The wanderings of many suitcases are known. Amatmoekrim and Benali chose the most compelling stories and tell how the travelers fared.

Adriaan van Dis introduces the stories with an extensive reflection on the meaning of the suitcase and the phenomenon of migration.
