This week, Maria introduces Jordan and the listeners to the Lebanese-American photographer, Rania Matar, who graciously joined them in the episode to share more about her life and career. The conversation highlights Matar’s unique approach across several bodies of work (including her most recent project of photographing people in isolation during COVID), all of which showcase the commitment to the duality of her cultural identity, the stages of life in young girls and women, and the intimate relationship between artist and subject.
