A photography project with Haus Leo residents. The aim of this project is to make visible the work biographies that refugees bring with them to Germany.
“My House Is Your House.” In Latin America, guests are welcomed with the saying “Mi casa es tu casa.” The refugee shelter Haus Leo and HKW took this as their motto when they opened their doors to each other in fall 2014.
In spring 2015 Marily Stroux photographed Haus Leo residents at workplaces that correspond to the professions they trained for or have practiced. The aim of this project is to make visible the work biographies that refugees bring with them to Germany. Their occupations range from radiologist to architect, from qualified carpet specialist to translator. The portraits are on exhibit at HKW beginning March 30, 2015. Interviews with the participating refugees complement the exhibition.
Photo journalist Marily Stroux sees her projects, such as the 2014 “Lampedusa in Hamburg Professions,” as a counter-program to the employment ban refugees are subject to. The work of the Greek-born Hamburg resident has been published in newspapers and magazines including die taz, The New York Times, and Der Spiegel.
