Murtaza Hossaini comes from Mazar-e-Sharif, where many different ethnic groups live together; he himself belongs to the Hazara community. In 2023, he came to Germany, with a detour via Switzerland – an Afghan friend he knows through online gaming told him about Berlin. It was through this contact that he decided to move here. In Berlin, Murtaza attends a welcome class, plays soccer, volleyball, and participates in theater. Since early 2024, Murtaza has been learning to play the violin and performs with the orchestra "Hangarmusik," a group where young people with refugee backgrounds come together to make music and learn an instrument as a group.
