'Greeks in Limburg' AMSAB Gent (2011)
With unique family pictures, this exhibition illustrates the search for a better life which brought many Greeks to Limburg half a century ago; a theme which is even more relevant today.
Since the early 50's, driven by poverty, political instability or sometimes simply love of adventure, Greek men took to the sea, soon to reach the shores of Belgium. Their goal was to spend a few years as immigrant workers in the Belgian coal mines in order to earn a living, accumulate savings, then return home... Some did indeed go back home, but many took a new path. Wives and children joined them in Belgium to build a different future here...
Migration became integration. It involved a search for a balance between maintaining a sense of Greek identity and finding a place within the Belgian reality – whether or not they were afflicted by homesickness and nostalgia.
From 14 January to 15 April 2011
