The 19th
Foam Paul Huf Award goes to Myriam Boulos (1992, Lebanon). Boulos consistently elevates personal searching into something universally resonant, within the pressing context of war and political conflict within her home country of Lebanon. Her work shows how people who live outside dominant norms still manage to find one another within a social system that would rather render them invisible. As the winner of the award, she represents a new generation of visual storytellers who understand that the political is deeply personal—and that photography is far from a neutral observer; it is a vital, lived tool for resistance, reflection, and the visible claiming of the right to exist in all forms of identity.
