With the Kurds, in Turkey

The Italian photographer Tommaso Protti first travelled to southeastern Turkey in 2010. The region is home to nearly half the world’s Kurds. Protti, twenty-six, was drawn to the craggy, expansive terrain, as well as to the Kurdish communities he visited there. He has returned several times to chronicle daily life in the area, including the effects of Turkey’s long-running conflict with the P.K.K., the Kurdish Workers’ Party, which lasted three decades and killed some forty thousand people. (The P.K.K.’s insurgency began in 1984 as a fight for a separate Kurdish state.)
