  • Duration: 45 mins

Colourful Thinking explores the way in which Turkish artists living and working in The Netherlands position themselves as artists with regard to their Turkish background, and how this becomes clear through their artwork. The research as a whole explores the way in which the use of film as a research method can establish a dialogue with the people being filmed. Furthermore, the use of film was essential to the degree in which I could participate in the artistic lives of the artists.
