Title:
Women in Zanzibar
Location:
Zanzibar
Zanzibar is an archipelago in East Africa, encompassing the islands of Unguja and Pemba, both situated in the Indian Ocean off the coast of mainland Tanzania.
Joanna Lipper traveled to Zanzibar in the summer of 2009 to photograph women of diverse religious, ethnic, and economic backgrounds in both urban and rural settings. The women she photographed trace their lineage back to Swahili, Arab, Indian, Goan, Shirazi, African, Persian and Omani origins. Many were of mixed race, reflecting the cultural synthesis and ethnic conflict that have shaped the arc of Zanzibar’s complex history.
