From Riyadh to Kathmandu with Tasneem Alsultan
To see more of Tasneem’s work, follow @tasneemalsultan on Instagram.
Tasneem Alsultan (@tasneemalsultan) has her #EyesOn the people of Nepal — and a new respect for their resilience after the devastating earthquake that struck in 2015. “I see hardship,” the photojournalist from Saudi Arabia says. “They’ve had years of struggle — from war, poverty and even natural disaster — but there’s a sense of pride and humbleness.”
As an exhibiting photographer at Photo Kathmandu (@photoktm), Tasneem brings images of Saudi marriage traditions to Nepal’s only international photo festival where images are installed in public spaces of the city’s winding streets. Just as her photos confront misconceptions about Saudi women, Tasneem marvels at the unexpected in Nepal: women toiling on construction sites in Kathmandu alongside their children. “My project here, amazingly, has made Nepali visitors realize that we’re similar.”
