All That Perishes at the Edge of Land (2019), 30 minutes. The decommissioned container ship Ocean Master enters into a dialogue with the workers at the Gadani shipyard site. The conversation moves between dreams, desires and places that are understood as home, and the violence inscribed in the act of dismantling a ship. As the workers recall their homeland and the families they left behind, the long working days continue to melt into each other, and they are forced to face the realities of their work, in which they face death on a daily basis. How can they survive and look forward to a future? The film focuses on the bodies, lives (and afterlives) and the structures necessary for survival that are involved in the dismantling, and asks for consideration of the costs and the naming of responsibilities.

Hira Nabi is a visual artist and filmmaker from Pakistan. She works with the media of film, performance, and text to collaboratively reflect on the disappearance of different worlds, aftermath, plural temporalities, and work infrastructures. In doing so, she links stories of colonial exploitation with ongoing violence and formulates gestures of care in order to find justice and dignity in addition to mere survival. An important part of her practice is to collect and archive testimonies in the wake of destruction and disappearance. In her work, witnessing is an act of radical possibility that unleashes immense potential for collective responsibility and love.

Around 2000 people originally from the Philippines live in Graubünden. They have found a new home here and are now "panahanan sa Graubünden" – at home in Graubünden.

In the Rhaetian Museum, the Balikatan Centre presents facets of Philippine culture, sensitively reports on what it feels like to leave home to find a new home in a distant culture and what challenges have to be mastered. The exhibition tells the stories of the Filipinas and gives them a face, invites visitors to deal with their own culture and origins and shows the richness that can arise when two cultures approach each other openly and shape their common coexistence.

Moderation: Zoë Schurter

Together with our museum educators from the Rhaetian Museum, the children immerse themselves in the fairytale world of the Philippines.

In this dialogue workshop, you will learn how communication differs between people from the Philippines and Switzerland and what it takes for us to understand each other better.
