The Arab Documentary Photography Program (ADPP) is a program jointly funded by Arab Fund for Arts and Culture (AFAC) and Prince Claus Fund in collaboration with the Magnum Foundation targeting creative documentary photographers in the Arab region. The focus of the ADPP is to amplify compelling non-stereotypical and unconventional visual documentation of important social issues and narratives relevant to the region. The program’s objectives are: (1) to raise the level of creative documentary photography in the Arab region, (2) to train photographers and expand their approaches to visual storytelling, (3) to share strong visual narratives from the Arab region regionally and internationally, and (4) to explore wider access to documentary photography and a more active engagement with its audiences.
Al-liquindoi coordinates the educational part of the program. The ADPP mentors are Eric Gottesman, Tanya Habjouqa, Randa Shaath and Peter Van Agtmael.
http://arabdocphotography.org is an on-line platform that hosts the final projects of the ADPP grantees. Also visit us on Instagram
