Photo exhibitions Otto Snoek & Robert de Hartogh

The arrival in the Netherlands of economic migrants from Turkey, and the relationship that has since developed with Germany, Turkey and other countries, is the theme of this double exhibition by Kosmopolis Rotterdam and the Historisch Museum. The museum has selected works by photographer Robert de Hartogh. In the '60s he was one of the first to photograph Turkish guest workers and their work and living conditions, family reunions and assimilation. Otto Snoek was commisioned by Kosmopolis Rotterdam to create fifteen pictorial stories of entrepreneurs, artists and managers in Rotterdam, the German Ruhr area and Istanbul. They share a Turkish background and their lives encompass a much larger network than those of birthplace or residence. NRC correspondent Steven Adolf wrote the accompanying texts.

Otto Snoek's exhibition is in the Afrikaanderpark.
Robert de Hartog's exhibition is in ’t Gemaal. ´t Gemaal is open Wednesday - Saturday from 11.00am until 5.00pm.
