A People�s Migration: The Bakhtiari Kuch
A People�s Migration is a photographic essay of an Iranian nomad family, migrating on foot over 3000m mountains in South West Iran.
Traditionally, twice a year, the nomadic Bakhtiari tribe spend weeks trekking kuch (their traditional migration) with their flocks and families from their winter to their summer pastures. This ancient way of life is now vanishing fast. More and more Bakhtiari are leaving the mountains altogether; whilst those who do remain use trucks or tractors to transport their animals and the family belongings. A People�s Migration is a stunning visual journey documenting a way of life which will soon vanish forever.
