His watchful, respectful, and above all, graceful images reveal a land at once contemporary and ancient, transparent yet mysterious.\u201d<br \/>Otto Simonett, Director of Zo\u00ef Environment Network<\/p>\n<p>Foto8 and Zo\u00ef Environment Network are pleased to announce the publication of <em>Taking Land<\/em>, a monograph of work from photographer Alban Kakulya. The result of a commission from the Environment and Security Initiative, Kakulya\u2019s images tell the story of a Crimea coming to terms with its past while asserting its own individual and unique identity. Kakulya looks in particular at the Tatars, an ethnic minority deported by Stalin in 1944 who have now returned to their homeland to take back their land. In Nikita, an unofficial Tatar settlement, he encounters a small community slowly staking claim to land that was once theirs, and patiently guarding the stones that will one day build their cherished mosque.<\/p>\n<p>Zo\u00ef Environment Network is an international non-profit organisation whose mission is to reveal, explain and communicate connections between the environment and society.
