More about Photos A La Chair by Camille Zakharia and Ali Ismail Karimi:
Photos A La Chair is a community event created with artist Camille Zakharia and architect Ali Karimi in 2017, offering a public platform where people mingle within an artistic setting, and the opportunity to have their portraits taken against backdrops created by local artists.
