- Nuzugum Lives Among Us
Click top image to view larger and caption Nuzugum Lives Among Us Xinjiang, China by Eleanor Moseman Published June 2024 In Xinjiang, an autonomous region in Northwestern China, over one million ethnic Uyghurs have been apprehended by the government and now live behind the “Black Gate” (qara derwaza). As Uyghurs disappear, the women outside these prison walls face systematic repression. Women are forced into marriage with Chinese men, not allowed to speak their native language, and sent across China to work in factories. The worst-case scenario is their children being taken away and put into orphanages, subjected to human trafficking and alleged organ harvesting. The women of Xinjiang are true heroines. Even during these dangerous and precarious times, they live their life unobstructedly: as if their home's safety, love, and stability were guaranteed. Uyghur heroines are nothing new, as a Uyghur allegory dates back to the 19th century about a woman by the name of Nuzugum from Kashgar. In this story, Nuzugum “kills an enemy outsider and she is forced to marry rather than yield her chastity and bear his children.” The women of Xinjiang don't have blood on their hands but instead fight against outsiders with resilience, bravery, and dedication to their families and country. Eleanor Moseman Eleanor Moseman is a photographer, adventuress, and storyteller focusing on social and cultural narratives involving women and persecuted groups of people around Asia. More specifically, she visually conserves the politically sensitive regions of Tibet and Xinjiang, drawing international awareness to the humanitarian issues of persecuted Buddhists in Tibet and the Muslim Uighurs (or Uigur community) of Xinjiang. With a BFA in Photography and Film from Virginia Commonwealth University, Eleanor now uses her photography and storytelling skills to contribute to the research of anthropologists, historians, conservationists, and activists. She speaks fluent Mandarin and is beginning her third year of Tibetan language studies at Indiana University. Eleanor is deeply committed to women’s issues that range from persecuted Buddhist and Muslim women to female competitors in the World Nomad Games in Kyrgyzstan. In addition to her documentary-style work, Eleanor is also a noted architectural and interior photographer with assignments that have taken her throughout Asia and the United States. She also owns and manages a photography studio and gallery, “The Lone Huntress Photography Studio” in Dayton, Ohio where she creates portraits and displays her work from around the world. With Tibet being blocked off from the world since she left three years ago, Eleanor plans to return as soon as possible to continue her long-term work, begin new projects, and share how this delicate region has changed over the last few years. As one of the few photographers working continually in the region for over a decade, she feels a responsibility to document and share what has transpired politically, physically, and culturally since Covid changed the world.

- This is What Democracy Looks Like
Click top image to view larger and caption This is What Democracy Looks Like New York, United States by Jean Ross Published November 2024 The 2020 presidential election felt consequential to a degree unmatched by any other in my lifetime. As the election grew near, I set out to document the determination of my Brooklyn neighbors to exercise their right to vote. These images begin on the first day of early voting at the Brooklyn Museum, continue at Brooklyn’s Grand Army Plaza on the day the election was finally called for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and at a January demonstration outside the Bay Ridge office of Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis, who voted to overturn election results in Arizona and Pennsylvania. Jean Ross Jean Ross is a California-born photographer currently based in Brooklyn. She photographs places and the people who live in them. Jean has studied at the International Center of Photography and her work has been featured in solo shows at Viewpoint Gallery in Sacramento, California, and Gallery 1855 in Davis, California, and in group shows at the International Center of Photography and other galleries in Oaxaca, New York, and Los Angeles. < Previous Next > comments debug Comments Write a comment.

- Working the Harvest in California
Click top image to view larger and caption Working the Harvest in California California, United States by David Bacon Published November 2024 A multi-level portrait of a working-class community, Yakima, in central Washington state, revealing its human face of work and poverty. Images explore the geography of its barrios and workplaces, both the closed factory of Yakima’s past and the agricultural fields of its present. Originally intending to photograph farm workers, I wanted to show other dimensions of the Latino community, including houses and trailers, a closed plywood mill, a homeless encampment, and guest worker camps. One older man who came to the U.S. as a bracero and worked as a farm worker for many years was collecting cans for recycling to have enough money to eat. Photographing his hands is a tribute to all the work reflected there, and to the working people of Yakima. David Bacon David Bacon has been photographing the social movements of workers and migrants for three decades. His most recent book, about the U.S./Mexico border, is More Than a Wall/Mas que un muro. < Previous Next > comments debug Comments Write a comment.

- A Photojournalist's Work in Gaza
Click top image to view larger and caption A Photojournalist's Work in Gaza Gaza Strip Photos by Samar Abu Elouf. Text by Lauren Walsh Published February 2024 The headlines have captured the world’s attention. The photographs are starkly painful to view. But view them we must; they are important to see. Such images belong to a long history of terrible yet historically significant photographs—images of atrocity and devastation. In short, these are images that force the world to grapple with human suffering, even when politics and ideologies may get in the way. Such imagery provides a visual, evidentiary record, in this case of the ongoing destruction of the Israel-Hamas war. Now, four months into the war, well over 25,000 people have been killed (primarily civilians), two million Palestinians are internally displaced in Gaza, a genocide case against Israel is underway at the International Court of Justice at The Hague, and attacks in nearby countries pose the risk of escalating wider regional warfare. While the future remains uncertain, the searing images compiled here bear witness to what has already occurred. Samar Abu Elouf, a freelance photojournalist, documented the war’s effects in Gaza in the months after the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack. Her images were viewed globally, published in the New York Times and picked up elsewhere. She holds multiple journalism awards and the above photographs display what she witnessed and recorded in late 2023. As she said in November of that year: “There are constant strikes around me. There is fear, horror, anxiety.” The dangers of reporting on, including photographing, conflict have been well documented . Yet Sherif Mansour, the Middle East program coordinator at the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), has characterized the Israel-Hamas war as “the most dangerous ” for journalists that the organization has ever seen. Such risks affect not only the local journalist population but carry impact for a broader global audience. As Mansour notes , “With every journalist killed, we lose our ability to document and understand the war.” Samar Abu Elouf has done that work – documenting in order to increase our understanding. She recently escaped Gaza. She has survived physically; she carries wounds internally. Her photographs, seen here, provide necessary if painful records, in hopes of a better, more just, more peaceful tomorrow. _____ Editor’s Note: The photos presented here in ZEKE by Samar Abu Elouf were taken while on assignment for The New York Times . Each of these images has already been seen by a global audience in numerous publications. We are very grateful to Samar for giving ZEKE permission to present them here. Samar Abu Elouf Samar Abu Elouf is an award-winning Palestinian photographer who has worked extensively in the Gaza Strip. She has covered many events in Gaza, including stories around gender, women’s and children’s lives, and the consequences of war. Since 2010, she has worked as a freelance photojournalist on assignment for outlets such as Reuters, The New York Times , NZZ Swiss Magazine, and others. Samar works with ZUMA Press to cover stories related to the COVID-19 pandemic for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and other agencies. In May 2021, she worked on assignment for The New York Times to cover the 11 days of fighting between Israel and Hamas that destroyed essential infrastructure and killed more than 230 people, including several of her own relatives. Her images, both intimate and shocking, capture and convey the dignity of her subjects. One of her photos shows a 2,000-pound bomb that did not explode on a bed in a Palestinian home. Other images show family members in the destruction of their homes and mourning dead relatives. Since the October 7, 2023 attacks by Hamas on Israel, Samar continued to work in Gaza for The New York Times covering the destruction and human casualties caused by Israeli bombs, artillery, and ground forces. Samar has received mentorship and training in visual storytelling through World Press Photo, RAWIA, Noor Images and the Arab Documentary Photography Program, an initiative supported by a partnership between the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture, the Prince Claus Fund, and Magnum Foundation. Portions of this biography are from the Online Journalism Awards . Lauren Walsh Lauren Walsh is a professor at New York University and Founder and Director of the Gallatin Photojournalism Intensive. She is the author of Conversations on Conflict Photography (2019) and Through the Lens: The Pandemic and Black Lives Matter (2022), co-author of Shadow of Memory (2021) on the Bosnian War, and editor of Macondo: Memories of the Colombian Conflict (2017), among other titles. She is a leading expert on the visual coverage of conflict and crisis, as well as peace journalism. In 2023, she was named a Fulbright Specialist in Photography and Ethics.

- A Return to the Belly of the Beast
Click top image to view larger and caption A Return to the Belly of the Beast United States by Edward Boches Published December 2024 “We’re going into the belly of the beast,” claimed one pro-life marcher, knowing that Boston remains among the most pro-choice cities in the country. That was in 2022, when the second annual Men’s March, organized by the Catholic radio host Jim Havens, brought 200 mostly white men to one of the country’s most liberal cities to spread their message that life begins at conception and that the Constitution must protect all “persons.” While the speakers’ words expressed how much they cared about life, the unborn, and the women who might bear them, there appears to be little to no empathy or compassion for women’s needs or the idea that abortion is healthcare and at times can even be life-saving. In the first three years of the march, which began in 2021, few counter-protestors, save a small cadre of kazoo-blowing clowns, showed up to confront the pro-life men. But in November 2024, that changed. A combination of continued outrage over the denial of abortion rights, and the re-election of Trump, seems to have energized young pro-choice activists, who showed up en masse to disrupt the march from Planned Parenthood on the border of Boston and Brookline to the Boston Common, three miles away. As the confrontation grew a bit tense, a Boston Police motorcycle escort, which annually leads the men to their downtown destination, appeared caught off guard by the counter-protestors and called out the SWAT teams from both the Boston Police Department and the Massachusetts State Police. While there was a lot of shouting, shoving, profanity and threats, and a number of arrests, no one was hurt and with a reinforced police escort, the Men’s March did make it to the Boston Common for their speeches and rally. These images, all from a one-day march in November 2024, are part of an ongoing project on abortion rights. Edward Boches Edward Boches is a Boston and Cape Cod-based documentary photographer. Interested in how photography can connect us, help us understand each other, and inspire empathy, Boches has photographed such diverse communities as inner-city boxers, former gang members, Black Lives Matter activists, transgender men and women, pro-life and pro-choice advocates, women shellfishers, and homeless writers. He makes it a point to meet and photograph at least one stranger every day. His work has been shown in museums and galleries that include the Griffin Museum of Photography (Winchester, MA); the Bronx Documentary Center (NY); the Cambridge Association for the Arts (MA); the Plymouth Center for the Arts (MA); the PhotoPlace Gallery (Middlebury, VT); the Providence Center for the Photographic Arts (MA); and in Boston at both the Bromfield Gallery (online) and Panopticon Gallery, among others. Boches’s work has also been distributed internationally by the Associated Press and has appeared in the New York Times, the Boston Globe, Sun Magazine, ZEKE Magazine, and the Provincetown Independent, where he is a regular contributor. In 2021 and 2022, he received multiple grants for public art installations for his community-based project Postcard from Allston. The project advocates for small businesses, raises money for local arts initiatives, and calls attention to how gentrification disrupts communities and affects the artists who reside there.

- I was made to die but I’m here to stay with you
Click top image to view larger and caption I was made to die but I’m here to stay with you Romania by Alexandra Corcode Published January 2025 Victor, 95, and Susana, 92, were married for over seventy years, living alone in the small village of Sângeorzul Nou in northern Romania. After losing their only child in 1993 and outliving family and friends, they relied solely on each other. Victor, blind for several years, became even more essential to Susana after she survived a sexual assault during an attempted robbery in 2019. Though Susana’s physical wounds healed quickly, the psychological scars lingered. Their already humble life in the nearly abandoned village grew harsher. Victor’s liver cirrhosis, worsened by the stress, led to his hospitalization and eventual death on October 8, 2019, leaving Susana to navigate her remaining days alone. Their story reflects the struggles of elderly Romanians left behind after four million people fled the country during the 1989 revolution. Without younger kin, they faced challenges: scarce access to resources, limited communication, unemployment, and violence. Though Victor and Susana once enjoyed a comfortable life, the lack of external support in their later years made survival precarious. Their story is a testament to the enduring love and support that sustained them through hardship. Alexandra Corcode Alexandra Corcode (b.2000), is a Romanian visual storyteller based between The Netherlands and Romania, with a focus on documentary photography. Corcode’s images aim to offer an emotional and psychological portrait of Romania that is poetic, dramatic, and picturesque. Her practice is characterized by its openness to engage with various individuals, communities, or ideas, fostering a sense of inclusivity and diversity in the creative process, extensive research, and an immersive approach to her subject matter. Through her photographic practice, she wishes to bring awareness to overlooked complex situations created by inequality, migration, poverty, tradition, loneliness, and traces of human absence. Alexandra embraces the photographic medium as a means to create encounters that establish relationships and question territories through memories, resilience, and generational transmission, with intimacy and dignity. Corcode is a recent graduate from the Royal Academy of Art (KABK), The Hague, with a BA in Photography. In 2023 she won the Tom Stoddart Award for Excellence from The Ian Parry Photojournalism Grant and was shortlisted for the Kassel Photobook Dummy Award with her book "Your Death is In My Hands". In 2022, she was selected as an "Emerging talent in photojournalism" by The Guardian and won the Canon Student Development Programme. Beyond those, she was selected to participate in the 35th edition of Eddie Adams Workshop in New York, having been published in Reuve 6 Mois - La Revue de Photojournalisme and has been selected for the New York Times Portfolio Review.

- Dreams From the War
Click top image to view larger and caption Dreams From the War Catania, Sicily, Italy by Giuseppe Scianna Published May 2024 Nearly twenty percent of Ukraine's population of 38 million fled their country when the war started in February 2022. Of the 6.5 million who fled, 90% were women and children. Thanks to humanitarian aid from Italy, about 15 Ukrainians from Rzeszow have been brought to Catania, Sicily. The war in Ukraine has deeply influenced the lives of Ukrainian women, in the areas of both tradition and politics. The traditional perception of war as a male affair has been challenged by many women worldwide, including Ukrainian women. Many women have faced the war and its consequences in various ways, demonstrating active engagement through forms of resistance and support, both within their communities and through local and international organizations. Numerous Ukrainian women have found themselves facing the harsh reality of raising their children alone due to the loss of their husbands or the destruction of family ties. Many of them have taken on new roles to compensate for the loss of family income, and are facing challenges associated with relocating to a new country, such as communication with the local population, integration, and access to medical care. These challenges can pose risks to the mental and physical health of children. Giuseppe Scianna 'Born in 1999, Giuseppe Scianna is a freelance photographer based in Sicily. He graduated from the Italian Photography Academy and specializes in documentary photography and social reportage.

- What Does Freedom Mean To You
Click top image to view larger and caption What Does Freedom Mean To You? Wyoming, United States by Milo Gladstein Published December 2024 Following more than a year-long presidential campaign, it seemed that the word “freedom” was ever-present. Both political parties have tried to claim the word as their own, and each has very different definitions. This project tries to answer the question “What does freedom mean to you?” A wide range of people throughout Laramie County were asked about their definition of the word, and each agreed to have a portrait taken. Everyone got to choose where the portrait was taken and what they wanted to wear to ensure a completely unbiased approach to this project. The takeaways of this project should be left up to each individual who reads the quotes and views the photos. Milo Gladstein Milo Gladstein is an award-winning photojournalist and Staff Photographer for The Wyoming Tribune Eagle Newspaper based in Cheyenne, Wyoming. As photojournalists, it is our responsibility and privilege to be the eyes of a community.

- Recovering From the Fierce Violence of Civil War
Click top image to view larger and caption Recovering From the Fierce Violence of Civil War 40 years after armed conflict devastated Peru between 1980 and 1995. Ayacucho region, Peru by Max Cabello Orcasitas Published January 2024 The Peruvian territories of Chungui and Oronccoy, with just over a thousand square kilometers in the mountainous Ayacucho region, were the scene of multiple massacres caused by the Maoist-inspired Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path) organization and the Peruvian military and police forces during the armed conflict that devastated the Peru between 1980 and 1995. 16% of its inhabitants were murdered: almost 1,300 victims; buried in 300 mass graves many of which have already been exhumed. These tragedies were not isolated events. Ayacucho was the region that concentrated the highest number of deaths and disappearances reported to the national Truth and Reconciliation Commission: of a total of 69,000 victims throughout Peru: 26,000 deaths (almost 40%) occurred in this region. Forty years later, Chungui and Oronccoy remain marginal areas. Both share extreme poverty and the precariousness of basic health and electrical services. Although they have experienced the restoration of their life rituals, the slow process of exhumations and search for the bodies that disappeared during those brutal years continues, waiting to be recognized by their relatives, most of whom are orphans and survivors of the conflict. Max's project, "Recovering From the Fierce Violence of Civil War" will be on display at the Bridge Gallery in Cambridge, Massachusetts, April 13-May 25, 2024, and at Photoville in Brooklyn, New York, June 1-16, 2024. Max Cabello Orcasitas Max Cabello Orcasitas (b. Lima, 1974) has been working since December 2009 on a project about the consequences of Peru’s civil war (1980-2000) in Chungui and other sites in Ayacucho, an Andean region that was fiercely struck by political violence. At the same time, he has been developing a series on how people celebrate on the outskirts of Lima and other Peruvian cities, demonstrating how modernity and tradition mingle in urban settings and among an emergent middle class mostly comprised by people who migrated from the Andes and the Amazon. He is a founding member of the Supayfotos, a group of documentary photographers based in Lima. Since 2006, Cabello has received numeous prizes and recognitions, and has collaborated extensively with local and international.

Not a criticism at all. Just thinking the intimacy of that brings it home. There’s a distance I feel here and perhaps that’s intentional, but intimacy with this means we want to get closer. I’m missing the bones or perhaps images of those who were lost, that humanizes them even more. Like Reply

- Bolivia and Hispanic Heritage
Click top image to view larger and caption Bolivia and Hispanic Heritage New York City, United States by Lisa DuBois Published October 2024 The United States celebrates the rich history, culture, and significant accomplishments of 22 nations recognized during the observance of Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15–Oct. 15). New York City acknowledges the significance of the varied cultural heritages of people who live there. This is evidenced by the numerous parades and festivals occurring annually. The borough of Queens in New York is home to a Bolivian community, including The Caporales San Simon, renowned for their dynamic and captivating dance performances at the Hispanic Parade and the Dance Parade in Manhattan. The Caporales is an Afro-Bolivian dance, referred to as Saya, originating from the Yungas region of Bolivia. The regalia, distinguished by wearing high heels and colorful attire, evolved from the adoration of the revered patron saint, the Virgin of Socavón.

- COVID-19 in Black America
Click top image to view larger and caption COVID-19 in Black America Pennsylvania, United States by Raymond W Holman Jr Published November 2024 In March 2020, I started working on a new personal project “Covid-19 in Black America.” From March until August 2020, I documented a group of Black doctors and nurses providing free COVID-19 tests in the Black communities of Philadelphia and surrounding areas. I am now creating environmental portraits of Black and brown-skinned people who have had first-hand experience with COVID-19 and recovered, have lost family members who have died from the disease, have been mentally challenged by the year of being socially isolated, and finally Black and brown-skinned people who have figured out how to adjust to the challenge and made a new pathway. Raymond W. Holdman Jr. Raymond W Holman Jr is a corporate and documentary photographer with over twenty years of experience located in Philadelphia, PA. His client list includes The Washington Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, New York Times, Politico, and the Philadelphia Health Department. Since March 2020, he has been working on a personal project titled “COVID-19 in Black America,” which focuses on how the pandemic has affected Black and Brown communities in Philadelphia, its surrounding area, and Atlanta, GA.

- Good Earth
Click top image to view larger and caption Good Earth United States by Esha Chiocchio Published November 2024 Good Earth celebrates New Mexican agrarians who are revitalizing land through regenerative practices—building soil, sequestering carbon, reducing toxins, and improving the health of people, plants, and animals. To better understand the range of regenerative techniques being employed, podcast host Mary-Charlotte Domandi and photographer Esha Chiocchio used interviews and photography to document the techniques of Native American land managers, farmers, composters, ranchers, goat herders, orchardists, and soil scientists to improve the foundation of society: soil. This series provides a window into regenerative land stewardship and demonstrates how we can all play a role in rehabilitating the good earth. Esha Chiocchio Esha Chiocchio is a photographer and filmmaker using her combined knowledge of visual storytelling and sustainable communities to inspire social change. An optimistic realist, she focuses on solutions to social and environmental challenges. Her current project, “Good Earth,” highlights agrarians from diverse sectors who are revitalizing land and drawing carbon into the soil through regenerative practices. She has photographed around the world for publications, non-profits, and commercial clients, including National Geographic, High Country News, Jardins du Monde, and Bonefish Grill.

- Drowned History
Click top image to view larger and caption Drowned History Turkey by Mustafa Bilge Satkin Published April 2023 The construction of the Ilısu Dam in Turkey had devastating impacts on the local community and environment in the Dicle Valley, a 100 km-long area along the Tigris River. The project resulted in the displacement of over 10,000 people, most of whom are Kurdish and Arabic, and the submergence of 198 villages, including the ancient city of Hasankeyf, one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited settlements. Despite this, the dam was constructed as part of the state’s water policies, with little regard for the consequences it would have on the local community and environment. The inhabitants of villages were forced to abandon their ancestral homes, sell their livestock, and move to a hastily built new town. The process of moving was emotionally distressing, as people had to exhume the graves of their loved ones and carry their remains to the new town so future generations could visit their ancestors. Mustafa Bilge Satkın Istanbul-based Mustafa Bilge Satkın is an independent award-winning documentary photographer with a doctorate in photography from Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. Primarily focused on the Middle East, his work has been published by Anadolu Agency and others, and he has participated in national and international solo and group exhibitions. With the hope for a better world, he focuses on social injustice, climate change, and migration issues. < Previous Next > comments debug Comments Write a comment.

- Turtles and Sparrows
Click top image to view larger and caption Turtles and Sparrows United States by Lauren Owens Lambert Published May 2024 Turtles: Water temperatures plummet in November in Cape Cod Bay. Kemp’s ridleys, the most endangered sea turtle in the world, wash up, cold-stunned, onto the inside edge of the hook-shaped Cape. The phenomenon is the largest recurring sea turtle stranding event in the world but such strandings are increasing due to climate change and successful conservation work in their nesting beaches in Mexico and Texas. Sparrow: The saltmarsh sparrow is the only bird species that breeds exclusively in the saltmarshes of the Northeast U.S. Found nowhere else on earth, they could soon face extinction due to rising seas from climate change. More than four out of every five saltmarsh sparrows have disappeared in the last three decades, with an estimated population decline of 87 percent. Now, a 200-kilometer-long hybrid zone exists in New Hampshire and Maine between the saltmarsh sparrow and the Nelson's sparrow. Depending on what traits the saltmarsh sparrow picks up, it could help future generations adapt to climate change. The sparrow is currently under consideration for federal protection under the Endangered Species Act, with a decision expected in September 2024. Lauren Owens Lambert Lauren Owens Lambert’s work has a creative focus on documenting the human aspect of conservation, climate change, and our relationship with the natural world during the age of the Anthropocene. In her work, she places people as part of natural cycles, a perspective that is sometimes lost in contemporary society. Her work has been published in National Geographic, Audubon Magazine, BioGraphic, Smithsonian Magazine, and National Wildlife Magazine . She freelances with news organizations such as Agence France-Presse and Reuters. She is an Associate Fellow at the International League of Conservation Photographers and a contributing photographer with Everyday Extinction and Everyday Climate Change. Lauren has shown in exhibitions at Photoville and has presented work at the United Nations on the importance of visual storytelling with ocean science and data communication.
