People of Ras Al Khaimah: Migration and Belonging

Talk

WHEN October 9, 2019
6:30-8 PM WHERE NYUAD Campus, Conference Center WHO NYU Abu Dhabi Institute Open to the Public

Ras Al Khaimah is an emirate of superheroes: captains who survived shipwrecks, shipbuilders who survived lightning strikes, honey collectors who scaled mountains, and entrepreneurs who made a strange land home. This talk shares the stories behind the photo book "People of Ras Al Khaimah," a collection of the personal histories of more than 50 long-term residents and Emiratis. Through its images, we explore firsthand accounts of Gulf migration and the commonalities of the Gulf migrant experience.

Speakers
  • Anna Zacharias, Journalist at The National; Author of "People of Ras Al Khaimah" (Medina Publishing, 2018)
  • Jeff Topping, Photojournalist
Hosted by
  • NYU Abu Dhabi Institute
