Overview
“Bîranîn” (Memory) Exhibition: Kurdistan through the eyes of Nesali journalists. Photos, docs & behind-the-scenes from the field. Market on 5 Sept.
The Bîranîn (“Memory” in Kurdish) exhibition project is a photographic and documentary exhibition conceived by Alice Moritz and Nesrine Cherifati, journalists and founders of the independent media outlet Nesali.
The result of three months of reporting in northern Kurdistan (Bakur in Kurdish, located in southeastern Turkey), the exhibition accompanies a series of documentaries and articles on the Kurdish question, published online.
It brings together memories of a journey and offers a complementary perspective to the final productions by revealing the behind-the-scenes of journalistic work: the encounters, travels, observations, exchanges, daily moments, and human connections that make reporting possible, while placing these experiences within the complex sociopolitical reality of the region.
The installation is structured around a map of Kurdistan tracing our itinerary. Each stage of the journey is linked to a selection of photographs illustrating the places visited, the people met, and the subjects explored.
These images interact with the documentaries made in the field, offering the public a journey that connects spaces, narratives, and memories. They capture moments of life that are sometimes ordinary for those who live them, but which have shaped our understanding of the territory.
By sharing them, we invite visitors to explore these fragments of memory and discover the stories they carry.
These images interact with the documentaries made in the field, which can be viewed via a QR code, offering the public an interactive journey that connects reports and field memories.
The exhibition invites immersion in contemporary Kurdistan through the eyes of two field journalists, where cartography, photography, and documentary compose a sensitive memory of the journey, encounters, and realities experienced.
