The Kids Are Alright

Simone Dede Ayivi & Kompliz*innen

"We want our children to have a better life," our parents said.
"We want our children to have a better life," we say.

“The Kids Are Alright” is dedicated to family stories, generational conflicts, political struggles and visions of the future in families with a history of migration. Children of the second and third generation of immigrants often live with the narrative that their parents came to Germany so that they could "build something for their children". But what do we and our children actually want to have built – literally and figuratively? Simone Dede Ayivi and accomplices have held talks with grandparents, parents and children from different communities and present their diverging ideas of a "better life" in a performative installation.
