Exhibition - Jeddah Diary 

Olivia Arthur 

Jeddah Diary is an exploration into the complicated and contradictory world of Saudi Arabian women as they balance between modernity and tradition.
 
Arthur has been photographing in the complicated region of Saudi Arabia since 2009; her first visit arising from an opportunity to exhibit a previous project exploring the boundaries of East and West, particularly women in Georgia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Russia and Iran. During her stay, Arthur taught a photographic workshop for women only, and it was through these friendships that Arthur was granted unusual access to a world kept hidden from most.
