Movin’ On Up

MOVIN’ ON UP: A Social Mobility Comic
by Miro Born

This comic is set in Germany. The names may sound unfamiliar and the houses may look different, yet the story is one that extends far beyond the German context.

Promoting social mobility in marginalised urban areas has become a widespread policy goal. But what does it really mean to move upward and outwards from stigmatised neighbourhoods? What are the consequences of individual upward mobility – for those who have „made it“ and for those who are seen as „left behind“? And does social mobility truly lead to social justice?

Illustrated by Irem Kurt.
