until 09.01. | #2204ARTatBerlin | Galerie im Körnerpark presents from 29th September 2018 the exhibition THE WAY WE ARE. Pictures of neglected Europeans by photographer Nihad Nino Pušija. 

For over 20 years, photographer Nihad Nino Pušija has focused on the realities of Roma living throughout Europe. In the exhibition THE WAY WE ARE, he mainly shows new series in which the focus is on creative people who commute between cultures. Whether it is the members of a band in Brno who work in everyday life as police officers, rappers and activists in Essen who are threatened by deportation, an old flamenco dancer who revives a vacant cultural center in Seville – it always works Pušija not to “the refugees”, “the migrants”, but to individuals beyond the usual stereotypes.

From the beginning of his work as a photographer, Pušija deals with anti-gypsy prejudices and political challenges such as deportation and integration. However, he never raises the moral finger, but embeds these topics – often quite humorous – in contexts of everyday life.
Pušijas portraits of children and adolescents are sensitive to their search for identity. His photographs stimulate critical reflection on the role of images of one’s self and others in the self-image of people in Europe.
