Exhibitions, Finland, Tampere, 17 September 2011
Izmir is widely regarded as one of the most progressive Turkish cities in terms of its values, lifestyle, dynamism and gender roles.
Nevertheless, unfortunately in large quantities nomadic families of Gipsy (approximately 2500 people) still live at nylon or cardboard refuges in several zones of Izmir.
They work as junkman, basketware, porter, peddler, peon in the informal sectors.
This project is realised in 2009 in 3 camps at Izmir city area. One of them is near the city center (in the red-line) and the others at suburbs of the city.
This exhibition is a part of The Backlight Photo Festival's program.
