Events

Today, around 20,000 people from Latin America and the Caribbean live in Vienna. They are active in many areas of city life and enrich Viennese culture in dynamic and diverse ways. Their varied migration experiences since 1945 have been collected as part of a large-scale, EU-funded  project (CERV Program). The exhibition draws on these collected impressions and makes them accessible to a broad audience.
