"This conversation with Ana Dana Beroš-the last one of the Western Balkans series-addresses the two main migration routes to access "Fortress Europe," the road through the Balkans, in particular through Croatia from where we recorded it, as well as the road through the Mediterranean Sea. We begin by describing the current means undertaken in Croatia in order to facilitate the route of refugees, as well as the obstacles encountered. In the second part of the conversation, we use Intermundia, the exhibition/book curated last year by Ana Dana to address the status of the Italian island of Lampedusa, considered as a European outpost in the migratory routes from North Africa. We describe, in particular, the former migrant detention center that Ana Dana was able to visit and document, and use this example to address architects' responsibility in the violence of European immigration politics. Ana Dana Beroš is an architect and curator, exhibition maker interested in creating uncertain, fragile environments and using empathic methods in presenting contemporary art and architecture, from infiltration to engagement.

Her curatorial research project on trans-European migration Intermundia received a Special Mention at the 14th International Architecture Exhibition Fundamentals, curated by Rem Koolhaas.
