Guardians of The Zagros: Storytelling with Nomads
An online webinar with world renowned photographer @emilygarthwaite takes you behind the scenes of our upcoming exhibition - Guardian of the Zagros: Walking with the Nomads.

Emily is a photographer with an unmistakable style of telling stories; she walks alongside the people she photographs, often for days and hundreds of miles at a time. The Iran which Emily discovered was far vaster than she imagined, and so are the depths to the stories she encountered.

Emily talks us through the most eye-opening moments from her epic journey across Iran and provide the audience with the opportunity to ask questions & preview her upcoming exhibition.
