Beyond the Archival. Visual Memories of First-Generation Female Migrants from Turkey in the Netherlands

The exhibition Remembering Otherwise by artist belit sağ can be seen at Framer Framed until 12 November 2025. Conceived in close collaboration with curator Katia Krupennikova, the exhibition gives form to stories from a pivotal 1978 labour dispute in Veghel, North Brabant, led by migrant women workers from Turkey. These stories are brought together in a monumental tapestry, complemented by a multi-channel video installation and collages informed by the artist’s archival research process.
