"In my project, the question is not simply aesthetic, but existential: 'Do you see us?' Not through the distortions of nationalism, racism, or xenophobia — but with clarity." – Wesaam Al-Badry Artist Wesaam Al-Badry’s photographs deal with power, politics, and social issues. We spoke to him about his documentation of farmworkers in California during the COVID-19 pandemic and how his work on Muslim culture and fashion has been misread. He also shared how his artistic practice is deeply interwoven with his work as an investigative journalist.
