Rawiya




This group of six female photographers from across the globe, who are renowned across the Middle East in particular, have come together to document the area's stereotypes and social/political issues. The groups title means, "she who tells a story," namely the stories produced because of these issues. Their collaboration is a brave, important, and strong one, drawing them to light in, for example, international and national news articles.
The six women are:
Myriam Abdelaziz
Tamara Abdul Hadi
Laura Boushnak
Tanya Habjouqa
Dalia Khamissy
Newsha Tavakolian
They hope to expand their network of photographers.

Their website can be visited here.
I wanted to put so many more photos on here, but if this seems interesting to you, you'll just have to see the rest for yourself!
