Life Beyond the Headlines with Photographer Tamara Abdul Hadi
Tamara’s work was highlighted in Vice’s 2016 Photo Issue, which exclusively features female artists and photographers this year. To see more about her photography, follow @tamarabdul on Instagram.
Photographer Tamara Abdul Hadi (@tamarabdul) documents what life is like in the Middle East, beyond the headlines. “Being Iraqi, growing up in the United Arab Emirates and raised in Canada, I always felt like the ‘other,’” the documentarian, now based in Beirut, says. “I tend to relate to other underrepresented communities and minority groups.” Her desire to tell these stories pushed Tamara to create the Rawiya Collective (@rawiyacollective), a place to share work from the Middle East while empowering local photographers. “Our region is filled with complexities, and our culture multilayered,” she says. “I want to show that there is life and love in our region, regardless, or even along with, the struggles.”
