In 2008, the first Uccelli Migratori \u2013 angel-shaped sculptures made of blue, transparent acrylic glass \u2013 were created as part of a sculpture competition at the M\u00f6rfelden Sculpture Park. At the time, Nabo deliberately decided against a monumental memorial and instead designed many small, lightweight sculptures that could perch on branches, fences, or poles like migratory birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the Uccelli were planted in large numbers in the trees, the native bird population reacted with outrage. The foreign forms were insulted, attacked, and loudly rejected. But over time, something unexpected happened: the excitement subsided. Blackbirds and titmice perched next to the blue strangers. What was initially perceived as a disturbance became part of the familiar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A silent symbol of convergence and change.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This observation became a symbol of what often happens in a similar way in our society: We humans, too, are constantly in motion. We move, change countries, cultures, and languages \u200b\u200b\u2013 for love, professional reasons, or existential need. Millions of people have to leave their homes, fleeing war, persecution, or a lack of prospects. And all too often, new things are met with suspicion, rejection, and sometimes even open hostility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new edition is being planned<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nabo is currently preparing a new edition of Uccelli Migratori. The sculptures will be visible again in various cities \u2013 starting with Wiesbaden \u2013 in the future. As a poetic symbol. And as an invitation to engage with the themes of migration, change, and humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Institutions, cities, initiatives, or private individuals who would like to support the project or become part of it are cordially invited to contact us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
