  • The image features a man dressed in a formal dark suit with a light blue tie. He appears to be in a professional setting, as suggested by the suit and tie. The background is bright red, which adds a striking contrast to his attire. The man looks serious and focused, possibly engaged in an official event or meeting. Egypt. Mostafa Madbouly, the man disfiguring Cairo Ibrahim Ezzeldin · October 2024
  • The image depicts a narrow street lined with older buildings, showcasing a blend of urban decay and lively activity. There's a mixture of people, some walking on the street and others gathered in small groups. The buildings have seen better days, with peeling paint and signs of wear. A small, weathered structure with a distinctive roof stands out against the backdrop of larger, more modern buildings. Utility wires crisscross overhead, and there's a hint of greenery from nearby trees. The scene reflects a vibrant yet gritty neighborhood atmosphere. Beirut. Walking Through Dilapidated Khandaq Al-Ghamiq Sandra Rishani · September 2021
  • The image features a juxtaposition of two buildings. On the left, there is a modern structure with large blue-tinted windows and metal panels. On the right, an older building displays a weathered wall with patches of peeling paint and exposed textures. A couple of small windows with turquoise shutters add color to the aged facade. Additionally, air conditioning units are mounted on the wall, contrasting the contemporary look of the building on the left with the rustic charm of the one on the right. The overall color palette is a mix of cool blues and warm earthy tones. Tunisia: In L’Ariana, Fast-Track Modernisation Najla Ben Salah · September 2021
  • The image depicts a woman wearing a hijab walking hand-in-hand with a young child down a narrow street. On either side of the street are colorful buildings, adorned with decorative murals. In the background, there are more apartment buildings visible. The scene conveys a sense of community and everyday life, with a garden or open space at the end of the street. The sky is blue, suggesting a bright, sunny day. The Low-Intensity Protest of Algerian Women Laurence Dufresne-Aubertin · September 2021
