DESCRIPTION

In this afikra feature, Jad Mousselli takes a deep dive into photography in Aleppo. He introduces us to photographers in Aleppo during the late ottoman period (1870 - 1920), and during the French mandate (1920 - 1950).

about the afikra community presentation

Delivered and prepared by afikra Community members, the presentation’s goal is to showcase the presenter’s curiosity and research and share some knowledge on a ‎topic related to the Arab world’s histories and cultures. The presentation is the ‎culmination of the afikra coaching process to help identify a topic, find research, and develop the ‎presentation. afikra presentations come in two forms, a long question-driven afikra Feature, and a short afikra FWD with the purpose of sharing something interesting.
