In 2010, Dutch-Turkish Photographer Ahmet Polat
published the photo book AfroTurks,
which documented the pictures of Turks of African descent living in the region
of Izmir- Turkey’s third largest city. Ahmet had been working on this project
since 2006. The pictures from his collection open the doors to the inner worlds
of black minority in Turkey.
Who are Afro-Turks? Where did they come from and
where they are heading?
