Hello Internet! I need your help. I'm Ghada - a Saudi visual anthropologist based in Berlin. I’m trying to track down old photographs taken across the Arabian Peninsula (GCC, Yemen, Iraq, Jordan). Not official images, but those day-to-day ones; street scenes, people, homes, daily life. Photos taken by travelers, researchers, journalists, workers. Honestly, anyone who passed through with a camera! I’d love to know who these photographers were, where they went, and where their images might be now. This isn’t an institutional project. It’s personal and community-driven, and I hope to eventually build a public archive that anyone can access. Our region has changed so much; and I think it’s time we look back and reflect on how we got here. More than anything, this is about memory. If you know of anyone who photographed the Peninsula, in the 50s, 70s, 2000s (as far as we can go!) I’d be so grateful if you shared any information. Here’s the link to a public Google Sheet where you can add anything you know: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… DMs are open, and feel free to share this with anyone who might have a lead. Thank you!
