Children work in a darkroom with co-founder of the project, photographer and educator Amar Kilic (R) during a workshop held as part of Fotohane Darkroom project in Mardin, southeastern Turkey, on June 14, 2026. In a dimly lit room illuminated by a pair of red lamps, eight-year-old Zeynep waits to see the photographs she has taken, now trapped as shadows and silhouettes on a roll of film. Originally from the southeastern province of Mardin, Zeynep is among eight children taking part in a two-month analog photography workshop for local and migrant youth near Turkey's borders with Iraq and Syria. The project, called Fotohane Darkroom, started in Mardin in 2024, by Kilic and Syrian photographer and educator Serbest Salih. In Turkish, Arabic, Kurdish and Persian, Fotohane means "house of photo", a name chosen by the children. (Photo by Yasin AKGUL / AFP)
