This small town houses the world's wealthiest company, which also owns the world's largest crude oil reserves. In 2018, as part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 plan, the public sale of a percentage of the company is expected to be the biggest IPO in history, valued at around $2 trillion. Malik shares the surprising warmth, familiarity, and timelessness of this 22-and-a-half square-mile place that so many Aramcons call home. Malik's photographs provoke conversation about the perception of and preconceived ideas about a home that is neither fully Saudi nor fully American -- a home unlike any other.Ayesha Malik divides her time between New York City and Saudi Arabia working on self-directed photo projects. Her work has been featured in Time Lightbox, VICE Magazine, Le Monde's M Magazine, The New York Times, Refinery29, and Offset, amongst others. View Details

BOOK INFOHardcover, Limited Edition Vinyl Record ISBN 9781942084389List Price: $45.00The first 1000 copies of this book features a bound-in vinyl record with unreleased tracks by The Sword and The Black Angels!Youth culture, the live music experience, music fandom, stage divers, crowd surfers; We Were There is a book dedicated to the live music experience -- a fresh document of concerts and festivals, as seen from the space between the band and fans. Carson's lens focuses on the fans' joy and fixation, as being close to the band is akin to a near-spiritual experience. We Were There offers an alternative and contemporary angle to the typical live music book. Here, the camera is turned on the fans, allowing them to tell the story behind the music. The project also serves as a self-portrait of music fan and photographer Sandy Carson, also a musician himself, who has been on both sides of the stage, barrier, and photo pit. Sandy Carson is a Scottish photographer who has exhibited nationally and internationally, from Texas and New York to Switzerland and Scotland. His commercial clients include the New York Times, The Huffington Post, Rolling Stone, Nike, ESPN, and Disney. View Details
