Background
This publication is part of a collaborative series that brings together authors, artists, and designers from the Middle East and Europe. The aim of these co-productions is to foster dialogue and friendship across national and linguistic boundaries, through processes of translation and engagement with another’s creative work.
„The Face that I See, The Face that You See“ is a collaboration between poet Tammam Hunaidy and photographer Newsha Tavakolian. While the immediate connection between Tavakolian’s photos and Hunaidy’s poems may not be evident, both capture the essence of places affected by recent conflicts. The publication features 33 landscape photographs taken across Asia, Africa, and Europe, establishing connections with Hunaidy’s verse.
