Paris Photo drew to a close in Paris on 10 November, with two galleries from the region showcasing their work: Tanit, from Lebanon, and Sil Road, from Iran.
Tanit presented works by Randa Mirza, Rania Matar, Laetitia Hakim & Tarek Haddad, Serge Najjar and Joumana Jamhouri. Between photographs of the post-blast port of Beirut (Joumana Joumhouri), it was also possible to see Lebanese youth and its resilience in Randa Mirza's shots, as well as in those of Rania Matar, who poetically tackled the problems facing Lebanese society, such as pollution and the government's inability to deliver the public services expected by the population.
The Silk Road gallery, for its part, offered a chance to discover the softness of Maryam Firuzy's photographs, Nazli Abbaspour's work of reincarnation between collages and photographs, and Tahmineh Monzavi's portraits.
