Janosch Bela Kratz´s conversation was on the elements of immigration history and the culture around it. The community of the Facebook group “Away from home – living in Iceland” interested Janosch a lot and the discussion taking place there. In Stofan he wanted to take threads from these discussions and bring them into this warm and hidden place. In the centre of the discussion are the benefits and problematics of the Facebook community “Away from home – living in Iceland”, a private group with more than 21 thousand members with immigration background of all kinds. The content of the group is problematic when it comes to political opinions, discussions about racism and nationalism but it stands out as an archive of knowledge about almost everything a foreigner could possibly face in Iceland. A very exciting space, intimidating but important to create a discussion. With the conversation Janosch was trying to bring the community into the physical world. And raise questions like: Why do people feel the need to share about topics like racism in this group? What is their aim? What do people want from this group and what can it even give you back? Is the moderation done good? And how does one even manage this big of a group with hundreds of posts every week?
