This project is made in collaboration with foundation Rooted. Rooted supports people with a migration background in rooting in The Netherlands and mostly, in themselves. Rooting is about embracing your layered identities, dancing between them and authentically being a part of society. This leads to a deep sense of belonging and feeling at home – a basic human need and the foundation of a cohesive society.

These photos of Rooted community members have been taken before and after participating in Rooted programming, asking them what it means to be rooted. Their answers reflect the diversity in experiences in what it means to feel to home and belong.
