Zooming in on politicians with a migration background in the Netherlands
As POC the career path in politics is not one without challenges. What kind of challenges, and how to navigate it as POC in an already under-represented field when it comes to diversity? This research gives insight in what politicians of color stand up against.
About the project
For University of Amsterdam (UvA), I got to work with Zahra Runderkamp on the visual part of their paper of their research that they conducted. The requirements regarding the visual aspect was that it had to consist of warm tinted colors, and that the front page had some connection to the existing paper of one of their partners in Germany who also researched a similar topic. and hyper visibility as a politician of color, and every challenge that the politicians come across being under-represented.
The cover of the existing paper had the concept of new politicians, especially politicians with a migration background, entering the parlement. That concept was incorporated in this paper. Each block represented a politician, with the blocks being on the bottom right represent the new politicians of color entering the parlement.
