In the series Come Get Your Honey - on view from July 15 to September 15 - Berlin-based photographer Samet Durgun, a first-generation immigrant of Turkish-Abkhazian descent, traces the lives of LGBTQIA+ refugees and asylum seekers in the city. Based on the guiding principle that photography relies as much on listening as it does on pressing the shutter, Durgun isn’t merely interested in looking; he wants to foster mutual learning and let that shared understanding inform everything he creates.

The series shows lives full of beauty, creativity, and resilience, while acknowledging the structural barriers and social marginalization. At the same time it can be seen as a quiet manifesto for a different way of seeing – grounded in relationship, in trust, in time.
