The two Italian photojournalists talked about how their time at DMJX and their internships at the picture agency Noor enabled them to work with the picture agency Metrogrpahy in the north of Iraq.
While working as editors at the Iraqi agency they made the project Map of Displacement, which covers six of the largest displacement events and the stories of the people, who have fled the violence seeking refuge in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
The stories are made by local photographers under the supervision of Stefano and Dario.
The whole project has been financed through funding and sales. Stefano and Dario explained how difficult it was to get the stories sold to be shown outside the region.
