Host: CANON

Listen to Canon Ambassadors Laura El-Tantawy and Tasneem Alsultan discuss what motivates and drives them to create beautiful thought-provoking, narrative-driven, photography and video. Tasneem’s work largely focuses on documenting social issues and rights-based topics in Saudi Arabia and the Arab Gulf region through a gender lens, challenging stereotypical perceptions of the Middle East and portraying a region and people that do not conform to expectations. Laura’s work explores notions of home and belonging and is recognised for its lyrical eye on reality.
