This book is the Winner of the Lucie Photo Book Prize 2022 - Traditional Category.

From 2012 to 2018, social documentary photographer Maryam Ashrafi covered the struggle of Kurdish people for its freedom and independance, choosing to stay behind the front lines and observe the daily lives of combatants.

Rising Among Ruins, Dancing amid Bullets is a photographic project I have been working on since 2012 in Iraqi and Syrian Kurdistan, to bear witness to the consequences of war, namely to the lives of civilians returning to their homes after their cities are liberated, as well as to the daily life of the fighters behind the front lines while emphasizing the role of women in their ranks."
