Rania Matar’s work focuses mainly on women and women’s issues. She has created searing documentaries of the lives of women and children in the Middle East, the Palestinian refugee camps, the recent spread of the veil and its meanings, the aftermath of war and the Christians of the Middle East. The universal theme: revealing the day-to-day existence of people who have been forgotten or misunderstood with singular compassion and sensitivity. At her home Boston, Massachusetts, she photographs her four children at all stages of their lives and is currently working on a new body of work, “A Girl and her Room,” photographing teenage girls from different backgrounds
