Lulie El-Ashry

Lulie El-Ashry, holds a PhD in Religious Studies with a focus on Islam and Ethnography from Harvard University, and is a writer and researcher who uses photography as a means to capture small details that often go unseen by the human eye. Currently based in Italy, she has lived in Algeria, the UK, Egypt, the USA, and Austria. Lulie’s photographic contributions to this Sheb-i-Arus exhibit, in honour of Shems Friedlander, a beloved friend and advisor, are but tiny reflections of a greater Light.
