MY FAVORITE(N)

Wien - Favoriten  2020/21 

After returning from the Middle East and later from Central Africa, I found it difficult to re-integrate into the district where I had previously lived in Vienna. Once perceived as trendy and charming, the area—located in the heart of the city—had long attracted people with its hip atmosphere. Yet after my experiences abroad, it felt strangely distant and disconnected.

This led me to move to Vienna Favoriten, a former working-class district that has developed into a vibrant immigrant neighborhood over the past five decades. Today, more than half of its population consists of people with migrant backgrounds, predominantly from Turkey, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and other parts of the world. The district is shaped by a dense, multifaceted cultural diversity that is constantly evolving.

Due to its proximity to the city center, Favoriten is currently undergoing another visible transformation, revealing clear signs of gentrification. And yet, despite these ongoing changes, the district has retained its core character. Vienna Favoriten remains a place of openness—one that allows a multitude of life stories to coexist and unfold.
