توجهت نحو جسد والدي،
خلال الأشهر الأربعة الأولى،
human psychological fear
ومن خلالنا،
الذي تلى السكتة الدماغية.
في مراقبة ذلك الجسد،
وحالة ما بين الحياة
حيث الشفاء المشترك
من جسمه المشلول.

Why you should listen
Kitra Cahana is a wanderer. The American-born photographer was raised in Canada and Sweden, with a father who worked as a rabbi and took his family along with him everywhere he traveled. Cahana's itinerant childhood is evident in her work, which has taken her to teenage "rainbow parties," Venezuelan spiritual rituals, Ukranian Ultra-Orthodox prayer sites, American boxcars and bus stops and many more places. The 2014 TED Fellow embeds herself in the societies she documents, playing the part of photojouralist as well as enthnographer.
