THAT’S HOW WE DO IT

Images of Neglected Europeans

Nihad Nino Pušija

Photographer Nihad Nino Pušija has examined the everyday lives of former Yugoslavia’s Roma people, now scattered across Europe, for over twenty years. In “SO IST DAS BEI UNS” (THAT’S HOW WE DO IT), an exhibition showing in the Galerie im Körnerpark exhibition, he presents a new series focusing on creative people who move between cultures. Whether it’s a police officer from Brno (Czech Republic) who plays in a band, rappers and activists in Essen repeatedly threatened with deportation, a veteran flamenco dancer who revives a culture center in Seville, or a Sarajevo writer building new houses with her husband all over Europe—Pušija is not concerned with “the refugee” or “the migrant,” but instead with individuals beyond stereotypes.
