Photographer Çiğdem Yüksel portrays these women in her work, currently on display in the exhibition " You Should Know" at the Fotomuseum Rotterdam. Neslihan Doğan previously supervised the Ghent-Turkish Heritage project at STAM and the oral history project "The Women of Breskens" at Amsab-ISG. In 2025, she will begin her doctoral research on the first generation of Turkish women in Ghent.
The discussion evening was an Amsab-ISG initiative and was included in the program of El Ghorba, a Victoria Deluxe project . To broaden the focus to include "forgotten women" in general, Amsab-ISG organized a resource workshop beforehand. Two interventions emerged from this workshop and were also discussed during the discussion. Joppe De Campeneere spoke about trans woman Priscilla Van Sandt (1951-2009), and Amani El Haddad highlighted tatrees , traditional Palestinian embroidery.
An inspiring evening about recognition and heritage, and a wonderful collaboration with Victoria Deluxe!
