Exhibiting Come Get Your Honey
For curators and institutions: hi@sametdurgun.com
Come Get Your Honey is a photographic series made with queer, trans and gender-nonconforming refugees and asylum seekers in Berlin. It is available for exhibition as a whole or as a selection, with the works and their context agreed through the consent process described below.
The series began in 2018 and is ongoing. 52 photographs are on this site; the book, published by Kehrer Verlag in 2021, carries 75 colour plates, one voice recording and one video.
It has been shown as a solo presentation at Fotografiska Berlin, in group exhibitions at Kunstmuseum Brandts in Odense, the Museum für Fotografie in Berlin and LANGER Space for Photography in Mannheim, and as a poster campaign across Munich for the Münchner Kammerspiele. Two of those hangs are pictured below; the full sets of installation views are on each exhibition's own page.
Every photograph from the series on this site is from the book's published sequence and passed its consent process; the installation views are by the photographers credited with them. The people in the pictures come first. A new context is a new question, and a selection follows their consent before it follows the wall. I will say plainly which works suit a given space and framing once I know what you have in mind.
