Danil USMANOV produced a photographic reportage in the Batken region, southern Kyrgyzstan,

focusing on the theme of migration: with many parents leaving to work abroad to support their

families, children are living alone, raised by their grandparents, neighbours, or siblings. To gather

different perspectives on the absence of parents, Mr USMANOV also trained children from Batken in

the practice of photography. Their photographs are exhibited alongside those of the photographer,

without any hierarchy.
