“Wij, Limburgers”
An exhibition about the superdiversity in Limburg, a province in Belgium.
The inspiration for this project came after reading the book “Superdiversity. How migration changes our society.” of sociologist Dirk Geldof.
In this project we take a look at the diversity in Limburg. We took portraits of people (definitely or temporarily) living in Limburg but born all over the world. People not only diverse in origin, but also in age, gender, reason of living in Limburg, studies or profession… We interviewed each person, and wrote down their story. The portraits were made by students of our photography-workshops.
With those portraits we organised an exhibition, to show the “superdiversity” in Limburg. Next to this exhibition, we organised a training and lectures about “superdiversity”.
Exhibition combined with workshops, lectures, movies…about the subject “superdiversity”.
The exhibition was shown in 5 different cities. In every city there were different activities next to the exhibition. The inhabitants with foreign roots could tell their story. For the photographers it was a chance to practice their skills, but also to meet and get to know the new inhabitants and their stories.
Both the photographers as the participants were really proud to see their portraits hanging in so many cities. “Diversity gives colour to your life and to your society, and we try to show that to other people”.

Twee jaar geleden vluchtte Ahmed met zijn drie broers en twee schoonzussen uit Irak. Samen maakten ze de lange, gevaarlijke tocht via Turkije, Griekenland, Macedonië, Servië en Duitsland tot in België. Nu proberen ze hun leven op te bouwen in Maaseik.
‘Toch is het moeilijk om over de toekomst na te denken’, vertelt Ahmed. Hij wacht nog steeds op een verblijfsvergunning. Zolang die er niet is, blijft alles onzeker.
