Working Spaces

by Tugce Demir

These pictures provide an overview over the range of working spaces of Muslims in Germany. Nowadays, Muslims in Germany work hard and studiously in a variety of professions. I have chosen to portray the professions of dentist and fashion designer – two very different spaces, but both of them professions that require creativity.
