 Basics In summer 2005 Eduard Freudmann and Can Gülcü began to visit Gazela regularly, gathering material for the travel guide during several longer stays in Belgrade up to the end of 2007. At the start they interviewed politicians, sociologists, representatives of aid organizations, and representatives of Roma associations. Although these groups provided a precise picture of those structures and mechanism by which the Serbian Roma are pushed to the margin of society, they gave little information about the Belgrade slums or about Gazela itself. Thus the focus was transferred to visiting the settlement itself, in the course of which the extensive interviews with the inhabitants took place that ultimately provided the major foundation for the travel guide.  Some of the photographs which appear in the travel guide were taken by the inhabitants themselves by means of one-way cameras, while others were made by professional photographers who had likewise occupied themselves with the settlement during their stays in Belgrade: Claudio Burato, Danica Dimitraški, Heidrun Henke, Gojko Ibišević, Miroslav Jašarević, Milica Memišević, Felix-Søren Meyer und Mića Talipović. |
