Synopsis "Unveiling the Veiled: Royal Consorts, Slaves and Prostitutes in Qajar Photographs"
Unveiling the Veiled: Royal Consorts, Slaves and Prostitutes in Qajar Photographs is the first public visual venue in the field of Middle Eastern and Iranian Studies bringing together photographs of Naser al-Din Shah's (b. 1831-d. 1896) consorts and their African female slaves (kaniz) inside the royal harem, accompanied by images of women, probably prostitutes of the Naseri period (1848-1896), inside the studio of Amir Doust Mohammad Khan Moayer al-Mamalek (b. 1857-d. 1913), one of the influential members of the royal court and the king's son-in-law. Indeed, properly analysing these three innovative and provocative topics -royal consorts, slaves and prostitutes- together requires a deep understanding of several fields of research. This is why I am presenting this exhibition in conjunction with the conference on Slavery and Sexual Labor in the Middle East and North Africa in the hope of providing a new platform for those of us who consider photographs of the Qajar period of Iran as material culture for use in further social, cultural and historical investigations.
