By now you have noticed GMEP has taken a summer holiday. It is not all rest though - we are working to relaunch a new and improved GMEP later this month. While we have been away from writing though, we have been getting some nice attention from the super giant and super stylish Italian magazine D la Repubblica who featured us (page 170) along with a photo by Omani photographer Nadia Alamri. If anyone can read what it says we would love to know. Famous German magazine STERN also contacted us a couple of days ago about the work of one of the other photographers GMEP featured so look for a Saudi photo artist to grace its pages soon.
Please stand by, we will return.
GMEP
Today I read about this blog on D and so I came.
ReplyDeleteI try to translate (sorry for my English).
Talented and with the sense (sometimes a bit naif) of provocation. She is Nadia Alamri, a little-more-than 20 years old photographer from Muscat, Oman, where women wear traditional clothes but have more rights than in many other arab countries. We can find Nadia along with other female artists (the pakistani Amber Hammad, the iranian Newsha Tavakolian, the lebanese Natalie Naccache and the emiratian Maitha Bin Demithan) on a blog: Great Middle East Photo.
Updated anonimously from a remote corner of the Great Middle East (which goes from Morocco to Pakistan), it has a new layout and new contributors from october.
