Shahriar Nouri: Appropriately Appropriated

 Shahriar Nouri is a photographer living and working in Norway. In a nod to cultural diversity, Norway's Turban Day is in its ninth year and our man Shahriar was there to record it.

"The Norwegian Turban Day is an annual event in Oslo, where Sikhs in Norway happily let part of their cultural expression of identity become a novelty appropriation of sorts for a day. The people of Oslo and nearby areas, as well as tourists and visitors, get their heads wrapped in cloth and are offered vegetarian cuisine free of charge. Oslo City even has its own limited edition turban design." That's right - and this year it's Paisley!?
