We Are Here

Coptic man smoking a pipe and a woman showing her tattoo of crucified Jesus and a heart pierced with an arrow. El-Kosheh village, Sohag, Egypt. May, 2012. While tattoo making is predominantly a taboo for Muslims in Egypt, Copts continue the ancient tradition of tattoo making dating back to the Pharaoh era. A very common tattoo design is a small cross on the back of a wrist. The tattoos of crosses mark members of the Coptic community and are made for both children and adults. Other people choose a more expanded version of a Christian tattoo: images of Jesus, the Virgin Mary or Saint George are some of the more popular designs. Photo by Rena Effendi

Project: Real Beauty

Babalwa -The people I admire, well, first it has to be my mom. By the way she's doing everything and she's been there for me and all, being a single parent raising a daughter, all alone, ja. And, basically, I think I love Oprah. She?s just everything. She's just a phenomenal woman. She just wants to be there for everyone and do, do things right and she even tells you,to be comfortable in your body, basically, cause a girl's not all make-up and all...My race group, which is Xhosa, you have to carry yourself as a lady, in public, in, , in your house. You have to carry yourself as a lady, and respect other people . I don't want to lie to you because the older generation I was told, that they were only allowed to put a cloth in front just to hide their private part and walk around with your breasts, but now, we can't do it because of many things, like rape and crime and all. So, we've been modernised anyway, so you just have to wear cloths. Photo by Jodi Bieber

Upstate Girls

Dana at six months pregnant with her first child--she was going to keep the baby at that point and was living in her room at her father's house. This photo was taken at a neighboring friend's house as there was friction between her and her father over the pregnancy, the fact that she was not married, and the baby's father was in jail.

"When you are checked in public, it creates a really unpleasant image. I wonder what the passers-by think – whether they really think that I committed a crime or that I really did something illegal – especially when it occurs in the neighborhood where I work...An example that I find particularly striking is when I walk down the street and I pass someone who shifts their bag to the other side – there is no mystery. I also try not to go to stores on Saturdays as I will likely be followed and checked." - Omer Mas Capitolin, elected official, Paris, France. Photo by Ed Kashi
