Reconsidering Photography: Protest Images

As part of the exhibition series "Reconsidering Photography" at the MK&G, two generations with migration experience in Germany come together: Kurdish artist Pınar Öğrenci was invited to engage with the protest images of German-Turkish amateur photographer Nuri Musluoğlu. In her multimedia installation developed especially for the museum, Pınar Öğrenci reflects on the West German labour movement of the 1970s and 80s and on what a migration society means for Germany today. In addition, selected photo spreads and articles from the political journal "Arbeiterfotografie", founded in Hamburg in 1973, introduce the historical background for the exhibition and provide insights into living and working conditions as well as unequal educational opportunities for migrants in the 1980s.
