The Arab Fund for Arts and Culture (AFAC) has been uncovering Arab talents and bringing artists into the spotlight since its inception in 2007, with their funding opportunities bringing countless projects to fruition. Their Arab Documentary Photography Program - supported by The Magnum Foundation and The Prince Claus Fund - has selected 10 photographers across the Arab world, who through one year have produced diverse images capturing the soul of their respective cities and contexts.
With the theme of ‘Framing the Personal and the Political’, the programme’s eighth and most recent cycle in 2021 includes photo stories from Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Libya, Syria, and Palestine. Through compelling images, artists have been able to document and express themes of belonging, identity, urbanism, and womanhood.
