Hossein, a 13-year-old boy from Beris, Chaabahar. The natives in Beris are the oldest residents in Chaabahar. People of Beris live in hardship, poverty, and famine. However, most of the residents in Zabol, especially farmers and livestock breeders, who saw their farms dry up and their livestock lost, decided to move to the tourist city, Chaabahr. Many of them have turned to driving.

Due to the Corona restrictions, the Foam Talent exhibition is not open for the public at this moment, but the gallery has made an online version, Foam/digital, showing the stories made by the 19 selected photographers.

The printed exhibition is hanging at Foam Amsterdam and at the gallery’s Instagram, they present a guided video presentation of Hashem Shakeri’s story.

Hashem Shakeri made the project as his final Photo Story during Photo 1 at DMJX in spring 2018.

In the 2020 edition of Foam Talent, Foam received 1,619 submissions from 69 countries. Foam Talent 2021 is now open for submissions untill the 2nd of June 2021.
