Sept 5 • book launch : Photography from Yemen

Join us Thursday September 5th for the re-opening of Storm and the launch of Photography from Yemen.
Photography from Yemen presents 14 contemporary photography artists from Yemen, the first ever survey of contemporary Yemeni photography.
Featuring artists working both inside Yemen and in diaspora, this book not only includes a presentation of each artist’s work, but also allows them to speak about their practice in their own words. 
Edited by Ibi Ibrahim and Lizzy Vartanian with featured artists: Abeer Aref, Afraa Ahmed, Ahmed Alabbadi, Amr Attamimi, Arif Alnomay, Asim Abdulaziz, Boushra Almutawakel, Hanan Ishaq, Ibi Ibrahim, Saber Wasel, Shaima Al-Tamimi, Somaya Samawi, Thana Faroq, and Yumna Al-Arashi.  

Photography from Yemen is the debut publication of Makan Press; an artist-run photo book publisher that aims to support the work of immigrant artists and those from countries of conflict and beyond.
