Middle East Archive - An Archive of Love, vol. II

After the success of the first edition of An Archive of Love, there is now the second volume. 
An Archive of Love, Vol. II is still about love, but now it is love seen through the lens of loss. It reflects on what remains when laughter fades, when the homes we once knew fall silent, and when the people we loved become memory.
In recent years, profound heartbreak has touched many across the Middle East and North Africa — within families, communities, and homelands. This volume emerges from that collective mourning, exploring grief as an enduring expression of love.

An Archive of Love, Vol. II considers remembrance as an act of resistance  a way to affirm life, identity, and connection even in the shadow of loss.

The volume features the work of photographers Myriam Boulos, Maen Hammad, Moises Sammam, Abbas, Mohammed Namoor, Charles Thiefanie, Amir Behroozi, Atia Darwish, Anthony Hamboussi, Scarlett Cotten, Fethi Sahraoui and many more.
