Ep. 101: @tamarabdul


Tamara Abdul Hadi is an independent photographer, born to Iraqi parents in the UAE and raised in Montreal, Canada. Abdul Hadi's work explores the complexity and idiosyncrasy of minority communities that are often subjected to stereotyping and underrepresentation interchangeably. Her work also touches on ideas of masculinity and self-representation. Along with being a photographer, she creates and teaches photography workshops, so far in Palestine, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, and Tunisia. In 2016, Tamara gave a documentary storytelling workshop in Gaza with her collective Rawiya.

Her work has been published in The New York Times, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, The National, Huck Magazine, VICE, Slate, and more.


Abdul Hadi is a founding member of RAWIYA Collective, a photography co-operative of female photographers in the Middle East.
