Kharabat Vol. 1
Kharabat Vol. 1, by Tehran-based artist Farhad Qashqai, is a found-photo book documenting the all-male world of Iran's Kharabatis — a working-class subculture rooted in brotherhood, street rituals, and ancestral defiance.
Sourced from digital relics, personal albums, and online ephemera, the book moves through prisons, gyms, living rooms, and city streets — revealing a world where loyalty is scripture, masculinity is sacred, and life itself is seen as Kharabat: ruins. This is not a document of violence. It is a portrait of tenderness between men who have no other language for it.
