Descendants of international migrants have differing relations
and connections to the country of their parents’ origin. Through
the portraits of Aminata and her father Lansana – both Germans
of Guinean origin, I studied the shifting meaning of “diaspora” for
subsequent generations. The diasporic identity could be seen as
disentangled from the country of parental origin shifting from a
centered to a decentered expression of belonging for the
descendants of migrants.
