Einweg Erfahrungen

2018

Photography workshops, exhibition

Kiel, Germany

📸

A photo project with the team of Werkstatt für kreative Unruhe/ Kreativ AG and the children who arrived to Kiel as refugees.

We spent time together, playing, gardening, learning about photography. During the project the kids have also each received a disposable (einweg) camera and a question coming along with it “Can you please show me what makes you happy, what’s important for you?”

All of the  project participants are part of a bigger group of kids and youth who were coming to the space of Werkstatt für kreative Unruhe are taken care of there and engage into creative activities. The photos the children have made are not sensational, neither they are photographic masterpieces, nor they talk about the horrors of their journey to get here. They are something that accompanies all that. They are real, mundane, daily life moments. 

The photos that we selected together with the kids where exhibited at the Anschapark Kiel and at the Kiel City Library. We have agreed that no photos of children themselves would appear on internet, therefore here you can see only a few ones that have no faces in them.
