NACHBARIN [a diverse narrative]

 After SPINNERIN, Julia Lacherstorfer's first project that consciously focussed on female narratives, the versatile musician presents the transcultural music project NACHBARIN [a diverse narrative]. Lacherstorfer is always on the lookout for new perspectives and insights outside the usual bubbles and familiar filters.
"... that's exactly what interests me. What my neighbours experience, whether they live right next door to me or many kilometres away. Whether they have their roots here in Austria or elsewhere. Around a quarter of my Austrian neighbours have a migration background, and I want to learn from them instead of hearing about them."

The life stories made audible by Lacherstorfer tell of experiences such as mental illness, forced displacement or omnipresent everyday racism.

NACHBARIN [a diverse narrative] is a transcultural music project that translates different realities of life into music, using the technical means of dialogue interviews, composition, film and photography. Music can build so many bridges. It can comfort us and hold us. It can shake us awake and put its fingers in the open wounds so that we can finally feel where it hurts. Whether collectively or individually. Perspectives become broader, narratives become more diverse. And then change happens.
