Syria in Transit

The project was launched for listening to the stories of the refugees living at Turkey-Syria border and UK-France border. The project managers have talked with the Syrians, sleeping in tents, turning cheap hotels and abandoned buildings into living spaces. They listened to the stories meeting at the same troubles and problems, and documented these stories. Revealing the exile stories of the Syrian refugees holding onto life at Calais region in UK-France border and particularly around Gaziantep in Turkey by focusing on home, society, poverty and migration, the project narrated the stories through texts, video, audio records and photographs with the concept of vagrancy. In 2015, ‘Syria in Transit’ is invited to be exhibited in Montevideo (Uruguay), Izmir and Ankara (Turkey).
