Photographer: Ahmet Polat, (Roosendaal 1978)
Ahmet Polat is interested in the lifestyle of Turkish communities, in the stories of second and third generation migrants and the way they deal with integration. He derives his motivation from his own quest for his roots in Turkish culture. Polat lived in Transvaal for two years, becoming familiar with the people in the area and experiencing the area's dynamics. During his working period he engaged in conversation with residents. He wrote these conversations down and added them to his photographs. The stories he collected in this way made him curious about the personal histories and the daily lives of the people he met and their relationships to the area where they lived.
In collaboration with: residents and organizations from Transvaal
