Photo exhibition<\/a> \u201eBare Life \u2013 Flight and Expulsion in the 21st Century\u201c by the two documentary photographers Christoph P\u00fcschner and Frank Schultze.<\/p>\nThe photojournalists Christoph P\u00fcschner and Frank Schultze, shaped by around 20 years of documentary photography, have selected 29 of their images for the exhibition. Whether it's refugees fleeing terrorist militias, as in northern Iraq, or climate refugees fleeing drought disasters, as in Somalia, whether they are stateless, displaced, or homeless: in the images of the two photographers, we are always confronted with defenseless lives in the hope of refuge or the right to stay.<\/p>\n
Flight and expulsion occur almost entirely unnoticed by the global public, for example in Ukraine or Syria: As in eastern Congo in June 2006, where refugees spent days and nights in the bush for fear of raids by militias before they arrived exhausted at Aveba camp. Or in Bangladesh, where climate refugees sought refuge from flooding in huts covered with plastic tarps at a camp near Shyamnagar. The list of places could go on: Grozny in Chechnya, Zugdidi in Georgia, Kitgum in Uganda.<\/p>\n
Christoph P\u00fcschner and Frank Schultze continue to tell these stories \u2013 in their pictures, each of which also has its own story. These are not the loud, headline-grabbing stories, but rather silent testaments to the daily suffering in the world's crisis hotspots. They are also images of a story that has long since arrived in the middle of Europe, in the middle of Germany, as the most recent exhibition pictures of refugees in Karlsruhe, Dortmund, and Simmerath prove.<\/p>\n
