ABOUT
Video artist Nezaket Ekici, who emigrated from Turkey to Germany at a young age, presents in the exhibition a work showing her reading a poem written by her father in his first days as a migrant in Germany, in Turkish, English, and German.«
Horodi: »Many of the works carry the parents’ generation on their shoulder. Her father arrived as an educated man, a teacher, while in Germany he had to take up manual labour. But he continued writing poetry. The poem he wrote in the early 1970s refers to the cultural gap and German attitudes to immigrants.«
