KuwaitDate: 2026Medium: Photo Transfer on metal&#38;nbsp;
Souk al Safafeer, or the Coppersmith Souk, has been active for 40 years, sustained by a lineage of skilled hands where the craft of metalwork has been passed down from one generation to another. Alongside the deep passion the craftsmen carry are their concerns over the uncertain future of the market.

Imagine a young man leaving his country forty or fifty years ago, working the same job in the same shop. For him and his peers, Kuwait and the specific shops they inhabit have become a second home. Furnished with memorabilia, religious artwork and faded family portraits, they serve as a bridge to the homes left behind. Alongside these images are the portraits; in testament to their work, we transferred photos of the craftsmen and store owners onto metal sheets, tying the place and the materiality of the market together.

The stories these shops tell shift our perception of the market as a mere commercial space to a living and breathing archive. While efforts are in place to preserve the physical architecture of the souk, we must ask: how do we honour and uphold the people that make the market breathe?

KuwaitDate: 2025Medium: Studio Self Portrait
For the foreign-born wives of Kuwaiti men who recently lost their Kuwaiti citizenship, home is a paradox. Inside what was once their homeland, they built a home, a family, a sense of place. Integration into this small city state was very likely challenging for many if not most of them.


For these women, building a homeland entailed two kinds of integration: the first into the community, and the second into the state. The first was always much more challenging.

Before the discovery of oil, Kuwaiti men - sailors, captains, pearl divers, merchants - braved the monsoon winds to reach the coasts of India and Africa to eke out a livelihood. While the men were at sea, the women held the fort back home; sustaining intricate networks of patronage, exchange and mutual care. Together, they wove a tight-knit collective that ensured survival. 


Despite the country’s transition from maritime trade to oil wealth, the centrality of community remained almost intact. Even today, community trumps society. Starting in the 1960s, many Kuwaiti men would return back home from their studies abroad with foreign wives. By and large the majority cultivated their new milieu, absorbing customs and navigating the codes of belonging.


Integration into the state was comparatively straightforward. After five years in the country, most of the women could apply and obtain Kuwaiti citizenship, acquiring the same rights as their fellow citizens.


In October 2024, the government revoked the citizenship of thousands of foreign-born Kuwaiti women who had obtained it after 1987. Overnight, they became foreigners in their own country. Having long renounced their original citizenship, many were rendered stateless. 


This project is an attempt to capture this paradox.

KuwaitDate: 2023Medium:&#38;nbsp;Medium: Anthotype prints
In an effort to develop and implement a modern water-supply system in Kuwait, the Swedish company VBB (Sweco) began constructing the water
towers in February 1970. The 31 water towers consist of different heights and colors. Their mushroom shape was designed to help provide shade to what was intended to be public gardens underneath. The design of the water towers, as well as the Kuwait Towers, received the Aga Khan Prize for Islamic Architecture in 1980 (source: Aga Khan Trust for Culture).

I took pictures of the water towers in 1985. These towers were originally gray and white before they were painted with stripes of white and blue and&#38;nbsp;became the iconic water towers we know today. In this series, I reprinted the
images using the anthotype method—a photographic printing process that
uses emulsions made from the extracts of light-sensitive plants, such as flowers, fruits, and vegetables. Because of the photosensitivity of this method, the image may fade if it’s not protected from direct light. 
This style of printing mirrors th precariousness of most historical buildings in Kuwait, which are unfortunately likely to face demolition or changes to their original facades.

This project relates to a group of individuals known as Bedoon in my home country of Kuwait. In Arabic, the word bedoon means without. In this case, these individuals are bidoon jensya, without citizenship, in other words stateless. Though many date their presence in Kuwait to the early 20th century, they lack the paperwork necessary to become citizens. They are the have-nots of Kuwait, not simply because they lack an identity, but also because their precarious existence contrasts so distinctly with the excesses to which Kuwait citizens are entitled. Official doors are closed to them whether it be to access education or health, get a job or simply get married. Compounding their vulnerable status is their almost complete anonymity in the society; few draw attention to their plight because the price for doing so is so high, whether it be harassment or expulsion. To most people, the bedoon are invisible.


Although I have encountered several bedoon over the years, I have always shied away from photographing them. The camera is a weapon of sorts - both good and bad. In some ways, it can expose difficult subjects, but at the same time it also can intimidate and compromise the person being photographed.Recently, however, I came across one individual who welcomed the idea of being photographed, of existing on paper in a world where they are told to disappear. I thought of the passport photo. Never having had a passport, most bedoon have never had their passport photo taken. And yet, a passport photo delivers a strong message: presence, identity, existence.

	Location: Kuwait

Eid day. A photograph of me at age 4. I am standing upright, arms by my side, seemingly well behaved. I am wearing an oversized waistcoat, a style that has stayed with me throughout my life. It was around that time that I was diagnosed with congenital hip dislocation, six months prior to the standardization of hip adjustment treatments for newborns. 
X-ray No.0-10687. Although my parents never spoke about my condition – a genetic condition that afflicts every one in 1000 infants – I knew that my hip wasn’t exactly like everyone else’s. Heidelberg-Milan-1969. Meetings with doctors and nurses in far-away countries, and sleeping with a gypsum cast, are some of my earliest memories. On my first day of high school,
 I remember being challenged to go from one classroom to another in less than 5 minutes. As my body matured and my condition evolved, I became even more determined to move at the same speed as my peers in life. 


Perhaps it is because of my condition that I rarely call for attention. School dance. With my camera, I have always documented people’s lives, never mine. But with the wisdom of age, I am starting to see things differently. Archival records, x-rays, doctor’s notes that I have meticulously collected over the years have resurfaced into my life, nudging me to turn the camera on them. Through a retrospective exploration of these items, I plan to re-trace my journey with CHD. I read somewhere that the subject is born of the object. These bits of history are as much a part of me, as I am of them. I would like now to tell their story through photography.

	Ahmadi, KuwaitDate: 2015Medium: Digital&#38;nbsp;

Al-Ahmadi was founded in 1946 with the discovery of oil in the south of Kuwait. &#38;nbsp;Centered around the oil industry, the town served the growing needs of the newly hired personnel of the Kuwait Oil Company. &#38;nbsp;Conceived by British architects and city planners, Al-Ahmadi represented a new concept in urban design. &#38;nbsp;Remote though it was from the rest of the cities, Al-Ahmadi thrived as a self-contained suburban town, inviting many curious visitors throughout the years to eye its unique build. &#38;nbsp;In the center of the town was the souq (market) built in 1961, which served as a vital point of exchange and interaction for its residents. &#38;nbsp;Fifty years later, in 2011, the market closed its doors. &#38;nbsp;Times had changed, many of the expats had left Kuwait as the country nationalized much of its oil industry, and as the area emptied out, the market gradually lost its relevance and became abandoned. &#38;nbsp;


Nestled in a circular corner lot the size of several football fields , the old souq boasted several dozen shops housed in two separate and large structures of concrete topped with a lattice wall that ventilated and illuminated the space. &#38;nbsp;Shops — from opticians to dry cleaners and even bicycle shops — were lined side by side in rows of approximately 10. &#38;nbsp;What struck Huda on her first visit to the Souq in 2015 were the store signs; each sign, drawn by hand, displayed a variety of Arabic scripts including naskh, nostalgic, ruq’ah, and free-hand. The signs carried information on the year in which the store opened, mostly ranging from 1965 to 1974, and the names of the Palestinian, Indian, Iranian and Syrian shop-owners.



In 2013, the National Council of Culture, Arts, and Letters (NCCAL) announced plans for the restoration of this historic market into a cultural platform.

	Nowruz Sayadeen

	
Home

	
	

	Location: Qeshm, Iran
Date: 2018Medium: &#38;nbsp;Medium format, Kodak Portra 400


During the searing summer heat in Qeshm Island, the village
 of Salakh is overcome by the celebrations of the annual Nowruz Sayadeen (the Fisherman’s New Year). On this day all fishing– a symbol of the village’s livelihood – comes to a standstill&#38;nbsp;out respect to nature’s bounty. In the midst of the celebrations an array of characters’ push through the crowd, teasing and frightening anyone in their path. 

The only make-believe characters, the Shushis, toys with the crowd the most. The palm leaves brandished on each of their hands are used in dance, and the long woven reed hat on their heads guarantees they never get lost in the crowd. 
The other characters include; the shtoor (camel), asb (horse), rooba (bird), and the booye saroom (pastor’s son).

East Ahmadi Market

Ahmadi, KuwaitDate: 2015Medium: Digital&#38;nbsp;Al-Ahmadi was founded in 1946 with the discovery of oil in the south of Kuwait. &#38;nbsp;Centered around the oil industry, the town served the growing needs of the newly hired personnel of the Kuwait Oil Company. &#38;nbsp;Conceived by British architects and city planners, Al-Ahmadi represented a new concept in urban design. &#38;nbsp;Remote though it was from the rest of the cities, Al-Ahmadi thrived as a self-contained suburban town, inviting many curious visitors throughout the years to eye its unique build. &#38;nbsp;In the center of the town was the souq (market) built in 1961, which served as a vital point of exchange and interaction for its residents. &#38;nbsp;Fifty years later, in 2011, the market closed its doors. &#38;nbsp;Times had changed, many of the expats had left Kuwait as the country nationalized much of its oil industry, and as the area emptied out, the market gradually lost its relevance and became abandoned. &#38;nbsp;



Nestled in a circular corner lot the size of several football fields , the old souq boasted several dozen shops housed in two separate and large structures of concrete topped with a lattice wall that ventilated and illuminated the space. &#38;nbsp;Shops — from opticians to dry cleaners and even bicycle shops — were lined side by side in rows of approximately 10. &#38;nbsp;What struck Huda on her first visit to the Souq in 2015 were the store signs; each sign, drawn by hand, displayed a variety of Arabic scripts including naskh, nostalgic, ruq’ah, and free-hand. The signs carried information on the year in which the store opened, mostly ranging from 1965 to 1974, and the names of the Palestinian, Indian, Iranian and Syrian shop-owners.
In 2013, the National Council of Culture, Arts, and Letters (NCCAL) announced plans for the restoration of this historic market into a cultural platform.



Today,as the market lays empty and in ruins, these store signs act as the only relic of the market’s legacy in what once was a thriving town.

Souk Mubarakiya is Kuwait’s oldest market, unaltered despite the passage of time. Near the Sheikh Mubarak Kiosk, built early last century, is situated the old date market. &#38;nbsp;Still retaining its original design, the date market runs along a corridor of no more than forty meters, with fifteen shops occupying each side.&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;If one day you have the opportunity to visit, be sure to show up very early in the morning to meet the oldest shop-owner, Ali Fahad Al-Ajeel, whose store&#38;nbsp;has been around since the 1940s.&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;Ali sells grains, rice, tea and other food commodities.&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;

Nearby, Hussein Abdulrazzaq's shop still carries the same aura of years past, with the help of Abu Jaber. &#38;nbsp;
Despite the change in activity of certain shops, the twelve shops continue to stock their dates traditionally. &#38;nbsp;Within their four walls, these merchants - in their old &#38;nbsp;surviving stalls - are the keepers of our culture.
