NADIA BSEISO & FARAH FOUDEH | Photography | Double Exposure
Nadia Bseiso & Farah Foudeh talked about their different approaches to photography. Nadia Bseiso is a Jordanian documentary photographer based in Amman. She completed a degree in photography from Florence, Italy in 2011, returning for a residency in Fondazione Fotografia in Modena, in 2015. She concentrates on long term projects, based on personal research in geopolitics, history, anthropology and environmental degradation. In 2016, she was selected for the Arab Documentary Photography Program, funded by The Arab Fund for Arts and Culture, Magnum Foundation and the Prince Claus Fund, for her project “Infertile Crescent”. Selected as Time – Light Box female photographers to follow from around the world, March 2017. She is working with several local and international NGO’s since 2011. Clients include The New York Times, The Telegraph, Reuters, Zeit magazine, the Intercept, The Globe and Mail, U.S News & World Report. Farah Foudeh was born in Lagos to Palestinian Jordanian parents and spent her early years between Lagos and Amman. Growing up between contrasting worlds led her to develop an interest in cultural identity, and with that she later pursued a BA in International Studies at American University in Washington, DC. Upon graduation, she returned to Amman, where she soon began working in tourism development. Her experience in tourism working with imagery, combined with a personal interest in photography eventually led Farah to complete an MA in Photography and Design at ELISAVA, Barcelona, where she is currently based. Her artistic practice explores themes of identity and representation while studying the role of imagery and travel in shaping both.
