‘A Muslim is someone with whom you feel safe’: Teenage migrants and refugees record their stories for an exhibition

The Daira Eastern Arts Festival lasted almost four months in St. Petersburg and ended in early February. One of its events was an exhibition with stories of St. Petersburg children from Muslim families of various origins. Bumaga spoke with Ksenia Diodorova, an anthropologist and curator of the exhibition, about the meaning of the project, how she collected the material, and why she decided to raise the topic of tolerance.
