Transgender

This is part of my “Transgender” photography project.

Tehran, Iran 2019 & 2020

Two years ago, on my way to rehearse for a theatre performance, a group of trans people, part of the LGBT family caught my eye.

They live around Daneshjoo Park and the old Shahr Theatre.

Last spring, I started talking to them, wanting to document their lives.

We walked the streets around the park, drank coffee, and I listened to their stories.

This is where I met Annie.

Anne was born in Urmia in 1992. She had to move to Tehran after receiving death threats from her family when she “came out” as a trans.

I was fascinated by her story and we cemented our friendship. Annie is one of my long term photography and video projects.
