Not every gathering needs a venue. Sometimes it’s a parking lot, a patch of grass, an empty stretch of land on a Friday afternoon.
‘Love, Labour & Leisure’ is a photography series by
@msomji that documents how migrant communities in Dubai carve out spaces of leisure, dance, worship, and community — in the gaps the city leaves open.
This project was commissioned by
@goetheinstitut as part of an interdisciplinary programme held at
@alserkalavenue , bringing together artists, photographers, and thinkers to examine the social fabric of the UAE through creative practice.
At #seeingthingsstudio, this is the kind of work we are built for; projects that require not just technical excellence, but genuine curiosity about the people and places being photographed.
