That’s a wrap on the 8th cycle of the Arab Documentary Photography Program! Alongside the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture (@afac.fund) and the Prince Claus Fund (@princeclausfund), it’s been a joy to once again share space with this incredible group of photographers as part of our joint initiative to support creative production by imagemakers in the Arab region. Gathering this past week in Beirut for their second of two intensive workshops, the 2021 – 2022 cohort worked with mentors Eric Gottesman (@ericgottesman), Heba Khalifa (@hebakhalifa_77), Nadia Bseiso (@nadiabseiso), Peter van Agtmael (@pvanagtmael), Randa Shaath (@randa.shaath), and Tanya Habjouqa (@habjouqa) to culminate their months-long project explorations, with program coordination by Jessica Murray (@murrayjes) and guest critique by Susan Meiselas (@susanmeiselas).
