The three photo exhibitions Turkish Connections, SurinNedWerk and Rue du Maroc Kosmopolis Rotterdam introduced the topic transnationalism among a wide audience. Photographer Otto Snoek brought in three photo exhibitions westfield in the outdoor lifestyles of transnational migrants in particular image.
Kosmopolis Rotterdam has worked hard to make it visible and palpable in metropolitan westfield and abstract developments such transculturalism and transnationalism, westfield and then brought westfield both the successful and the abrasive sides of it in the picture. Kosmopolis Rotterdam signaled a growing trend. More and more people, and especially migrants themselves to a transnational lifestyle. For them it is very common to live and work in one country, and go out and hold in other countries. Visit family and vacation This is especially true for migrants, and particularly for migrants from the second and third generation. They feel intimately connected with people from both their country of origin and of residence. But in addition, they have all kinds of relationships with people from other cultures and even countries. And thanks to the Internet, mobile phones and Skype, they can all easily maintain these contacts.
Transnationalism and transculturalism are to many unknown and abstract phenomena. Kosmopolis Rotterdam made this new era accessible by organizing photo exhibitions. In public (outside) space Photographer Otto Snoek gave people with a transnational lifestyle a face and a name. He showed that issues of loyalty and citizenship are increasingly relegated to the background.

The interviews with them that they are not easily move through their multilingualism and knowledge of multiple cultures between countries, cultures and worlds. They swap at will the security of the Netherlands for the opportunity and adventure in Istanbul, Duisburg, Paramaribo, westfield Casablanca or Qatar. The pictures are shown as they appear westfield on the portrayed all these places: if the environment does not matter much for the cartoons.
A second goal was a 'transnational travel tour. Therefore, the exhibits made traveling and was chosen for placement in the outdoor westfield area and then especially for locations where people stroll or wait and time, inclination, and rest in order to view a photo. Exhibition So was Turkish Connections featured in Rotterdam (Afrikaanderplein), Istanbul (Taksim) and Duisburg (opposite the Merkez-Mosque) SuriNedWerk in Rotterdam (local park) and Paramaribo (Hermitage Mall), Rue du Maroc in Rotterdam (Theatre Square), Marrakech (Gare the Marrakech Menara Marrakech) Airport in 2013 in Antwerp (the square of the Museum aan de Stroom).
