阿西拉巷子里的Gnaoua
[By Samantha Zaza in Rabat, Morocco] Above is Hamide, a Gnaoua musician who zipped across our path on a bike, down one of Asilah’s narrow alleyways, sintir on his back. It was so quick that at first I wasn’t sure what I saw— a hunched figure in a striped djellaba with what looked like a guitar— but after […]
毕尔芒餐厅
[By Samantha Zaza in Rabat, Morocco] We spent Eid al-Adha in Imlil last year, where an old Amazigh tradition still carries on during the days following the Eid. Thunderous drumming echoes through the valleys of the Atlas, and high on a hill one morning, we spied a group of young men dressed in various masks […]
加那利岛的素描
[By Samantha Zaza in Rabat, Morocco] I haven’t posted in a long, long time. The transition to my new home in Morocco has been challenging, though things seem to be looking a bit better now. I miss Turkey, and I’ve developed an anxiety whenever I hear its name mentioned in the news. I haven’t been […]
Marhaba摩洛哥!
[By Samantha Zaza from Rabat, Morocco] This is my first sketch from Morocco, my new home. I have left Istanbul, where I have spent the last nearly seven years of my life— and it feels quite strange. As I wander through the streets that sound and smell so different than what I know, I keep […]
尼泊尔
[Samatha Zaza在加德满都]六天来，我一直在考虑如何更好地写这篇文章，因为我对最近的尼泊尔地震充满了各种情绪。正如你们中的一些人所知，我开始在Shree Mangal Dvip喜马拉雅儿童学校（SMD）担任艺术教师的志愿者[...] 。
理发师
It was a damp grey day in Edirne, but there was a charming coffee shop that promised warmth and a hit of silty Turkish coffee. Edirne is the former capitol of the Ottoman Empire— before Constantinople was taken— and fortunately for me, it’s a quick two-and-a-half hour drive from my doorstep. This quiet city is […]
图卢兹的 "航行证"（Carnets de Voyages）。
A few months ago, I received an email asking if PeF and I would be interested in showing our sketches of Istanbul and the Occupy Gezi protests in a carnets de voyages group exhibition in Toulouse. It didn’t seem real at first, but as time went by, we realised that it was indeed happening, and […]
又见面了!
我一直在囤积我的素描，没有什么特别的原因，而且已经很久很久没有分享过了，但我现在打算给你卸下一些。4月，我在土耳其东南部靠近叙利亚边境的地方旅行，设法说服一位老先生在一个院子里为我摆姿势 [...] 。
乌尔法的面孔
现在我在加德满都，网络连接非常不稳定，所以我希望这个帖子能通过！"。这些是我5月份在土耳其的乌尔法遇到的人的肖像素描。我一直没能分享他们，因为伊斯坦布尔的大规模抗议活动占据了先机。我读到昨天晚上有更多的[...] 。
Unite, resist
I drew the above sketch on Saturday, June 15— the day the police invaded Gezi Parkı. I had no idea this would be the last time I could sketch Gezi as it was; a peaceful, fun, creative place where people of all backgrounds came together to speak out against what they believe is wrong for […]
