Toleration/Duldung

Allemagne

2016Jury

As part of her artistic project, Stefanie Zofia SCHULZ regularly visited the inhabitants of the largest refugee and political asylum seekers center in Germany. “Toleration/Duldung” focuses attention on children who are growing up in these centers and considered as “tolerated” people. During her investigations at the “Lager” (as the centre is known by the locals), she met people who have lived there for nearly fourteen years even though the accommodation was originally intended to simply be a temporary solution. For most young people interviewed as part of this work, the camp has become their home.
