A musician & a photographer have set up a studio at ‘La Tramontane Refugee Center’ in Marcinelle. A music studio for music, recordings and lessons… a moment away from the crowded refugee center. A photo studio to photograph and portray the residents. Also printing these pictures as a gift, for them to have their picture as a moment of acknowledgement and dignity. Image and music as universal language, to give refugees a face and a voice, in dialogue. As recognition of the other and denial of transience.
Thanks to all the residents and employees at La Tramontane.
This project will be continued in other Refugee Centers in Belgium...
