THE POWER OF THE IMAGETHE POWER OF THE IMAGESelections talks to six talented female photographers from the
Arab world and Iran whose work spans the gulf between East and West, transcending language and culture to tell universal stories
b y I n d i a S t o u g h t o n
Some of the world’s most talented
photographers hail from the Arab world and
Iran. Today, whether they live at home or
overseas, they find themselves caught between
two regions failing to connect, in a world
where Islamophobia and misapprehensions
run rampant.
Each of the six women interviewed in
this issue deals with this in their own way,
some choosing to address the gulf between
East and West directly in their work, others
approaching it more obliquely. Yet ultimately,
each achieves a similar alchemy — using
photography as a tool, they are able to
transform and translate their personal
experiences into a universal format,
rendering their subject matter accessible
to people of any background, challenging
harmful stereotypes and championing
new perspectives.
Iraqi-American photographer Sama Alshaibi
tells Selections how Arab women in the U.S.
are under siege and reveals details of her
upcoming project, Carry Over, which sets out to
deconstruct colonial images of women from the
Middle East and North Africa.
Iranian photographer Gohar Dashti
explains how her photographs of Iran, rooted
in personal experience and memory, help to
explore Iran’s culture and history in a new light
and why her photographs of humans are bound
up with nature.
Lalla Essaydi, a Moroccan photographer
based in the U.S., details how she employs the
composition and tropes of Orientalist paintings

06: Randa Mirza, The Year of the Elephant, 2014, diorama, credits: Galerie Tanit and the artist
to provoke viewers into new ways of seeing,
overturning expectations and subverting
Orientalist attitudes.
Egyptian photographer Nermine Hammam
shares her thoughts on how her photographs
inspired by the Egyptian revolution explore
an imbalance of male and female energies
in a timeless style that renders individual
experience universal.
Rania Matar, a Lebanese-American
photographer, explains how her relationship
with her two daughters led to a fascination with
girls and women growing up and navigating
transition and why she makes sure every series
is shot in Lebanon and the U.S.
Finally, Lebanese photographer Randa Mirza
discusses the image as a marker of identity, her
work uncovering the lost pre-Islamic myths that
centre on female power and the artist’s role as
a cultural ambassador.

PHOTOGRAPHY
The Beauty of Growing UpThe Beauty of Growing UpLebanese-American photographer Rania Matar photographs women and girls, exploring periods of growth and transition
The process of aging — and the experience, emotional
growth and maturity that come with it — is something we
all experience personally but are often able to observe and
quantify only in other people. This alchemistic process is at
the heart of Rania Matar’s work. Born and raised in Lebanon
before moving to the U.S. in 1984, the photographer has two
daughters and watching them grow and change has inspired
several series of work. Over the past decade, she has
focused on girls and women, capturing their inner and outer
worlds, their growth and evolution, and the relationships
between them.
In A Girl and Her Room, she captured teenagers in their
bedrooms, exploring their increasing need for independence
and their first forays into self-expression. The series was
followed by L’Enfant Femme, capturing the vulnerability and
bravado of girls on the cusp of puberty. Becoming revisits the
same girls a few years later, while Unspoken Conversations
captures teenagers approaching adulthood alongside their
mothers. These photos are particularly captivating due to the
complexity of the relationships captured through a sidelong
glance or a half-glimpsed expression.
“When my older daughter left for college, I realised that I still
feel like I’m 25 but I’m a middle-aged woman and it made me
think quite a bit about my role as a mother changing and the
fact that I’m getting older and she’s growing up,” Matar says.
“There were so many layers to that moment, and then my
relationship with her changed and we became much closer
when she left home. The other personal aspect to that is I
lost my own mother when I was three years old, so I’m really
discovering that first-hand.”
A common thread running throughout the series is
Matar’s decision to photograph women in the U.S. and in
Lebanon for each.
“I’m always hyper-aware of that whole conversation in the
news about “them” and “us” and it seems to keep getting
worse, instead of better,” she says. “Because I live in the West
I feel like a lot of the work people want to see often has this
Orientalist aspect to it — they are still fascinated with the veil,
with war, and I feel like people forget sometimes there are just
normal, regular people who live here, so for me it’s important
to portray that and to portray that universality. Even though
each girl and women that I photograph has such a specific
identity and individuality, there is a universality to growing up
and to growing old and to mother-daughter relationships and
to going through transitions.”
