Women in High Atlas, Morocco.

Sepia-tinted photos from over 50 years ago show striking facial tattoos of women from indigenous populations in Algeria. But documentation of these women has faded like the aged photographs. In Algeria today the actual practice of facial tattooing is disappearing along with the older generation. One particular indigenous group losing this cultural marker is the Chaouia of the Aurès Mountains in northeastern Algeria.

This project from Pulitzer Center student fellow Yasmin Bendaas captures incredible portraits and stories from Chaouia women when investigates the origins and disappearance of tattooing, especially with the advent of literacy and Islam's spread. Bendaas' work is available on Amazon for purchase 🇩🇿🇩🇿

A Tunisian woman preparing the “ oula ”. Summer 1973

Note: The oula عولة is a food supply ( like couscous, pepper, meat...etc ) that is historically being stored for incoming famines or wars. The habit continues to nowadays.

No doubt they are doing the same in Libya, Algeria, and Morocco.
