Afro-Iran | The Unknown Minority  - Mahdi Ehsaei

The photographic series shows a side of Iran, which is unknown by even Iranians. A trip to a place which is inhabited and dominated by the descendants of slaves and traders from Africa. The resulting portraits reveal new facets and unfamiliar faces, which are not typical for the common picture of Iran. They show details documenting the centuries-long history of this ethnic minority. A confrontation between the Persian culture and the, for Iran unusual, African consciousness. A surprisingly new experience for the viewer, which shows the current presence of Afro-Iranians in Iran.
