  • Bangladesh: Garment Workers
    DUKAS_190463963_ZUM
    Bangladesh: Garment Workers
    October 27, 2025, Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh: Worker carries massive bundles of stitched jeans from trucks to nearby tailoring and dyeing factories in the busy streets of Keraniganj in Dhaka, one of Bangladesh's largest garment production hubs. Each worker shoulders between 75 to 100 pairs at a time, weighing as much as 30 to 40 kilograms, their bodies almost engulfed by stacks of denim with only their faces visible to guide them forward. Keraniganj is home to thousands of small clothing factories that stitch, dye, and finish jeans in bulk before sending them to markets across Bangladesh.

  • Kalash, ancient tribe of Pakistan in Taliban region
    DUKAS_183302870_POL
    Kalash, ancient tribe of Pakistan in Taliban region
    May 17, 2024- Kallas Valleys, Pakistan: Hand-painted truck, transporting goods from Chitral, the nearest city, to the Kalash Valleys and back. This is the tradition in trucks, lorries and even passenger buses in Pakistan. The Kalash festivals are a major event that every year attracts more and more visitors from all over the country as well as from abroad, thus somewhat increasing the income of the people of the tribe who otherwise really need significant help. The Kalash Valleys are located in the mountains of Pakistan, just a few kilometers from Taliban-controlled areas, where Spring Celebration is an annual event. Kalash is a small ethnic group, believed to trace its origins back to Alexander the Great, lives here in relative isolation. For centuries, invaders forced them into remote areas, where they fiercely resisted the Arab conquerors and their religion. The Durand Line at the end of the 19th century, which separated Afghanistan from India, the Kalash managed to survive in the three valleys Birir, Bumburet, and Rumbur of the eastern Hindu Kushrange, now part of Pakistan. These valleys lie near the Afghanistan border and are surrounded by towering peaks. With a population of approximately 3,000 the Kalash continue to practice an ancient religion, the origins of which remain unclear. Legend has it that the Greek god Dionysus founded a settlement in the region known for its festivals and orgies. During Alexander the Great's expedition to the East, many of his soldiers deserted, and settled in the Kalash Valleys. Kalash culture still carries remnants of Greek influence, with traditions centered around ecstasy, love and poetry. During the three-day Spring festival "Joshi," the Kalash women, sing in their native language and perform traditional dances. They honor the Greek Goddess of hearth Hestia, known locally as "Gestak".

  • Timeless world of Ethiopia's Omo valley tribes
    DUKAS_183124784_POL
    Timeless world of Ethiopia's Omo valley tribes
    February 27, 2023- Omo River's valley, southwestern Ethiopia: A little girl carries a bag on her head with perfect balance, containing essential food: a small amount of grain and a large bottle of milk. The Dessenech tribe is a Nilotic ethnic group living near the border between Ethiopia and Kenya. They are known for their unique way of life, deeply connected to the river and their environment. Like many Nilotic groups, they follow a strong animistic belief system, seeing a sacred connection between the natural world and the spiritual realm, particularly with their cattle, land, and surroundings. The Dessenech live in a way that avoids calculations—free from counting ages, numbers, animals, deaths, or even the cycles of rain and drought. They embrace a life focused on the present moment, feeling unburdened and alive. Traditionally, they practice pastoralism, herding cattle, goats, and sheep. They also engage in handicraft, agriculture, growing crops such as millet and sorghum, although their environment can make farming challenging. Fishing is another significant activity due to their proximity to the Omo River and Lake Turkana. As it is one of the poorest tribes, some of the young generations are used to get supported by Australians, Europeans or US citizens in a way that they still live and grow up in their homelands but they have the financial support to study in the nearest cities. Then, some of them prefer to return back home in their tribe's village to help their families and to work as a guide to visitors. (Maro Kouri/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

    Timeless world of Ethiopia's Omo valley tribes
    February 27, 20123- Omo River's valley, southwestern Ethiopia: Semi naked Dessenech women at their small flea market, sell mostly their handicrafts, including handmade jewelry, as well as items they use in their bucolic daily life, such as sticks and unique wooden pillows, which they rest on when they are tired. The Dessenech tribe's handicraft market is located along the banks of the Omo River. Dessenech tribe is a Nilotic ethnic group living near the border between Ethiopia and Kenya. They are known for their unique way of life, which is deeply connected to the river and their environment. Like many Nilotic groups, they have a strong animistic belief system. They believe in a connection between the natural world and the spiritual realm, often seeing their cattle, land, and environment as sacred. The Dessenech believe in living without calculations, free from counting ages, numbers, animals, deaths, or even the seasons of rain and drought. They embrace a life that is focused on the present moment, feeling unburdened and alive. They traditionally practice pastoralism, herding cattle, goats, and sheep. They also engage in some agriculture, growing crops like millet and sorghum, though their environment can be challenging for farming. Fishing is also a significant activity, particularly because of their proximity to the Omo River and Lake Turkana. (Maro Kouri/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)
