Profile
Kamila Rustambekova is a documentary photographer and filmmaker based in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Kamila's work focuses on the complexities of modern Uzbek society, exploring the working and living conditions of locals as well as the boundaries of self-expression and societal taboos faced by the youth. Her practice delves deeply into social issues, shedding light on underrepresented narratives within her community.
Among her notable projects are "Paris", which delves into the lives of seasonal farmers in the Farish region, and "Jannat," a critical examination of Uzbekistan's long-standing cotton-picking industry, a colonial endeavor that has persisted for over a century. Through these works, Kamila provides a clearer understanding of contemporary Uzbekistan and amplifies the voices of those who are often unheard.
