LAURA BOUSHNAKBeing a woman in the Middle East isn't always easy. At least, that's the impression we get from Laura Boushnak's ongoing series of intimate documentary photography, I Read, I Write—featured in this month's issue of VICE. Boushnak has focused on girls and women in several Arab countries, trying to draw attention to the barriers they face in accessing education and the role of literacy in improving their lives. A Palestinian born in Kuwait, Boushnak is currently based in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. She started her career at the Associated Press, and her work has been published and exhibited around the world.
