Ecstatic Motion, Talabani Tekiye, Kirkuk, 2016 (2)

Description:
Two men, who moved away from the wall just moments ago, hand in hand, unfurl their hair from their caps and begin to bow and head-bang to a chorus of “Allah! Allah!” or “God! God!” One of the men has a telltale mark on his forehead, what is known as a “zabib,” or “raisin,” in Arabic: a raised bruise on his forehead from praying and prostrating vigorously.

Ecstatic Percussion, Talabani Tekiye, Kirkuk, 2016 (17)

Description:
The daffs change hands frequently in the women’s worship. The woman who just moments before was playing the transparent daff is now playing a worn, patched, animal-skin daff. It is remarkable how much use these instruments see and how, no matter their state of use, they contribute to the sound of prayer.
