Title: Come Get Your Honey
Description: What if photography is more ?listening± than seeing? Come Get Your Honey uses this ques-tion as a compass while telling a story about the trans* and queer refugees in Berlin. It is the photographer?s journey of weaving bonds at eye-level with individuals through vulnera-bility, friendship, and joy.Samet Durgun strives to depict each individ-ual as complex human beings in their whole-ness, trying to establish a new home in a for-eign country and an extremely polarized political climate. He goes beyond the common narra-tives about LGBTQIA+ and refugee commu-nities, which tend to reduce them to their agony, either by surgically exploring their body from the ?outsider gaze± or romanticizing their struggle.Samet Durgun (b.1988) based in Berlin, is German with a Turkish migration background and of Abkhazian descent. He holds a BA from Bogazici University, Turkey.0.
