Once the Breaking Noon project was carried through in Iran, the media collective LoreDoor travelled around the county of Västerbotten in search of traditional recipes. The stories we heard in the wooden bakery cottages in northern Sweden were similar to those we were told during our field trip in Iran. Many of the women we met had worked hard to be able to give their children better chances in life than they had had themselves. To find out more please visit Loredoor’s blog.

This project was funded by the County Administrative Board of Västerbotten.

Breaking Noon – Iran

Breaking Noon was a project about baking bread in Iran. In 2011 we travelled to Iran as members of the media collective LoreDoor and spent three months there visiting villages and meeting women who baked bread. To read more about the project visit Loredoor’s blog.

This project was funded by Iran Heritage and through scholarships from Umeå municipality and Västerbotten County Council.

The pictures in the gallery were exhibited at the city library in Umeå. The pictures are available for sale, printed on canvas. For inquires please contact elmira(at)zadissa(dot)com
