Who Were the First Photographers of Aleppo? | Jad Moussalli
In the final episode of this season of Bas Sou'al, the afikra coumminity podcast, Jad Moussalli takes us back through the history of photography in Aleppo. Via the camera lens, we learn about certain moments in the city's histories, its key figures, and its minority communities. Jad introduces us to Aleppo's photographers during the late Ottoman period (1870-1920) and the French Mandate (1920-1950), and explains how his passion for Aleppo's photographers began.
