Zsuzsanna Ardó, Meditation, on Woman and Shadow, 2010, Copyright the artist During her stay at Deutsche Börse Residency Program at the Frankfurter Kunstverein, the focus of Zsuzsanna Ardó's work is the varied, moved and complex identities in the city of Frankfurt - a city characterized by immigrants both in the past and present: today around 40 percent of its residents having some migration background.  Her project explores ways of capturing and giving voice to narratives, agencies, fears and hopes that may not be heard otherwise. It also invites both old and new immigrant and well-established German identities of Frankfurt to have a chance to reflect upon and express the different identities, memories and aspirations they might embody in their everday realities.
