We are thrilled to invite you to the opening of the exhibition ‘Here to Stay. Stories from 20 Years of the SABA Educational Scholarship for Migrants’.

To mark the 20th anniversary of the SABA educational scholarship, this anniversary exhibition invites visitors to take a look behind the scenes and explore artworks from numerous creative projects. An open bar and a live DJ set set the stage for an enjoyable evening of dancing and drinks, while the artist collective pari-pari creates graphic and performative print works that weave connections between visitors and the exhibition.

The SABA educational scholarship is a programme run by the Crespo Foundation in cooperation with beramí berufliche Integration e.V. It supports people with migration and refugee experience by providing empowering learning environments and financial resources, enabling them to obtain a school-leaving qualification, develop professional prospects and shape a self-determined future.
