Bear and Fanny>>
by Kirsten Rebekah Bethmann/United States
This series explores the complexities of marriage when a spouse is afflicted with dementia and their partner is required to take on the role of caretaker. Layers of emotion surface as the ability to remain an equal in the partnership dissolves and the roles begin to resemble that of a parent and child.
The Don Steppe>>
by Misha Maslennikov/Russian Federation
Picture yourself in the midst of the steppe, somewhere out in the open, looking at the horizon. You find your gaze drawn beyond this meeting of earth and sky, to the far side of the visible, so much that you can see nothing other than this inexorable boundary. What’s out there?
“Eshgh, Tars, Azadi” (Love, Fear, Freedom)>>
by Ashkan Shabani/Iran
Iranians face many obstacles. Some come from the regime imposing ideological restrictions and political pressure, while others result from the strained economic situation. Still, more pressure comes from the public’s closed, traditional way of thinking. Homosexuality is a target that both society and the regime are against.
Campesino Cuba>>
by Richard Sharum/Cuba
A four-year documentation of the Campesino people and culture of rural Cuba. Campesino means “farmer” or “rural peasant” and includes some of the most poverty-stricken populations on the island. They number close to 20 miliion and occupy close to 85% of the land in Cuba.
Unending Ethnic Conflict in Burma>>
by David Verberckt/Myanmar
During the past years, I have extensively visited Myanmar’s borderland states of Rakhine, Kachin and Karen, in government controlled areas and ethnic armed groups-controlled territory, in order to try to understand, access and visualize the country’s never-ending ethnic conflicts.

Misha does an extraordinary job documenting the people, life, culture, and magical world of the steppe with his poetic black and white photography. His work reminds us that the urban and digitized world that many of live in today is just one of many on this vast planet, and that the people he photographs are closer to the ageless struggle of human existence than many of will ever experience in our 21st century lives.
