a unique photography workshop is showcasing the talents of Deaf photographers who capture the world through their lenses. The workshop, founded by professional photographer Husniddin Ato, began with a group of young Deaf individuals learning the art of photography.

For example, Ato tasked the students with documenting a game of kupkari, which is a traditional Central Asian horse-riding game in a busy and dynamic environment. One student, Murod Yusupov, initially struggled due to lack of experience in an environment where there was shouting, shoving, and swirling dust. But with mentor support, he has since gained experience and improved his skills.
