Dialog between Turkey and Austria
Poems Maruša Krese Photos Meta Krese For a few years (2007 – 2010) my sister Maruša and I were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to document the cultural and social dialogue between Turkish immigrants in the town of Feldbach in Styria and the majority Austrian population. We spent quite a lot of time in Graz and, of course, in Feldbach, and also among the relatives of immigrant families in Turkey. It was not our intention to judge, and even less so to be critical of anyone: no, we were simply there to listen and to pass on what we heard. The project was possible because it was financed by the Styrian government and because we were working with the staff of ISOP, an intercultural independent non-profit organisation. ** Dialog med Turčijo in Avstrijo Nekaj let (2007 – 2010) sva z Marušo, mojo sestro, imeli to srečo, da sva lahko dokumentirali kulturni in socialni dialog med turškimi priseljenci v kraju Feldbach na Štajerskem in večinskim avstrijskim prebivalstvom. Precej časa sva preživeli v Gradcu in seveda v Feldbachu in tudi med sorodniki priseljeniških družin v Turčiji. Najin namen ni bil ocenjevati, še manj biti kritičen do kogar koli temveč samo poslušati in posredovati naprej. Projekt je lahko tekel, ker ga je financirala štajerska deželna vlada in seveda, ker sva delali skupaj z uslužbenci ISOPa, medkulturne neodvisne neprofitne organizacije. |
