This photographic series by Mahdi Ehsaei shows a side of Iran that is widely unknown even to Iranians: a minority of people who influenced the culture of a whole region by continuing their African heritage with their clothing style, their music, their dance and their oral traditions and rituals. Afro-Iran reveals details documenting a centuries-long history of a community, which is often overlooked in Iran’s history but which has even shaped the culture in Southern Iran.
