Among the participating artists of the Documenta addressing migration and drawing attention to the international postcolonial past was the Nigerian-American artist Olu Oguibe, who erected an obelisk with the inscription "I was a stranger and you took me in" on the Königsplatz in Kassel.

This essay wants to highlight Oguibe's debate on "The Aliens and Refugees Monument."
