Shazia Khan

Siulit - Ancestors We are Here Now Shazia Khan 1st edition

This book is about living between worlds.
Belonging is not a fixed place, but a movement — between cultures, languages and ways of being.
Through 31 photographic portraits, this book presents people who carry more than one story. Some have roots in Greenland, others in distant countries, and some in several places at once. What unites them is the experience of being shaped by narrow narratives — and the insistence on being seen beyond categories, symbols, and explanations.
The portraits do not offer answers. They offer encounters.
