The photography exhibition Passages of a Flight aims to bring the stories of people that journalist Nermin Ismail and photographer Simon van Hal encountered on their flight, to a wider public. Starting with the events in Syria, coming through Greece and stopping at the boarders, different people raise their voice and let us have a glance on their fates. The photographer and the journalist accompanied these protagonists on their escape to Hungary, Slovenia, Austria and Germany as well as to Greece and Turkey. The projects aim is not only to give a face and a voice to refugees, but also to overcome prejudices in order to increase awareness in the society, who is supposed to give these people a new home. The focus is directed on their arrival, on questions of living-together and the enriching transformation our cities are facing.
