Since its founding in 2017, Sirkhane DARKROOM has travelled across southeastern Turkey, just kilometres from the Syrian border, providing young refugees with a safe space to learn and create. Through its workshops, Sirkhane Darkroom seeks to empower its participants, building their creative confidence and fostering a sense of community.

This exhibition is a selection of photographs created and printed by participants at the Sirkhane Darkroom.

Sirkhane DARKROOM is a not for profit organisation in southern Turkey, working close to the border with Syria, that brings joy and creativity to children and young people affected by conflict and disaster.

Serbest Salih, photographer and Sirkhane DARKROOM Director, said: "In Sirkane DARKROOM, we are trying to provide children with a healthy childhood and use photography as the language children use to express themselves."
