WAITING FOR BETTER DAYS by Fatemeh Sarah Jabbari
Delhi Photo Festival 2015
Delhi Photo Festival
New Delhi, India
Alternation of name of Persian Gulf, after 2500 years as “Gulf” in worldwide media (not the legal registered name in UN) inspired me to know more about an old country which owns more than 7000 years culture and 2500 years registered history.
Thus, I chose this project to work to depict daily life of an Iranian Balouchi family, one of Aryan tribes of Iran in a city which suffers from a severe poverty, with lots of jobless people, and addicted youth and is located near Pakistan border and Gulf of Oman.
I have tried to show their effort and desire to improve their way of life, their attempt to reach better days in all aspects of their lives, financially, socially etc.
Only few photographers have covered this subject because of the geographical, political, and social problems in this region.
