  • On the surface Berlin is a modern city looking to the West whilst reconciling to the past; however beyond the surface, Berlin is pulled in different directions. Still today a fervent movement, mainly in the former East part of the city is resisting to the West and its perceived capitalism. Often this movement is harvested by  squatters  that have occupied premises in the eastern side of the city. A squatted place in Warschauer Strasse.

  • The majority of refugees that arrive in the Uk are offered provisional housing, vouchers to buy food and are not allowed to seek employment.  This situation meant to be temporary often takes years to settle.  Many kosovan families even after years do not know whether they have their right to stay permanently in the UK.  Refugees see themselves as living in a limbo, unable to look for work and to move freely.  Often the bond between their community is the only attachment that they form, partly because of their common plight and partly because of a need to ascertain their cultural identity.

  • Widows of war receive 60Euros for maintenance. With this meagre income they can hardly make ends meet. If they do have sons, they normally take charge in the upkeeping of the family with their mum.  Ngos like Medicos del Mundo have opened workshops rooms where the widows can engage in creating house wares like cloths, towels, etc. by knitting and sewing. They then sell their products. A woman says that overall there is more conformt in being together than in making an income as generally most women in Kosovo know how to sew or knit.
