There is more going on at the margins than you might think.<\/strong> Where cities fray and maps grow thin, our second focus topic tells the stories of people who rarely appear anywhere else.<\/p>\n

We visit East German garage courts in Dresden and a bird warden who spends seven months in the Wadden Sea. We listen to residents living next to the Nordhorn Range and learn how an escape from the GDR in the boot of a car succeeded.<\/p>\n

The margins are places of transition. Here, what the centre likes to overlook remains visible \u2013 for better and for worse.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
