The Living Archive

Stories from Young People Growing Up in Immigrant Families

This ongoing collection brings together short video excerpts from interviews with young people in New York, Berlin, and other cities, reflecting on belonging, migration, family, discrimination, and everyday life.

Young people and immigrants are often spoken about in debates on migration, but rarely centered as experts and interpreters of their own lives. The collection is intentionally transnational to surface shared questions across borders.

Explore the stories by storyteller, theme, through curriculum pathways, through curated collections, or by browsing the full archive.

I have had many experiences with racism, and at the same time I think I have developed such a defense mechanism in myself that I no longer want to remember them, that I no longer want to make them such a big part of my life.
