Photographs of Uyghur people and their culture living in Ea. Turkestan (Uyghuristan). A land of lush green mountains, huge sandy deserts, towering snow capped mountains and an expansive uninterrupted sky. Their culture includes bustling bazaars, the smell of fresh kabobs and nan in the streets, girls in Atless dresses, old men with doppas, and the jovial voices of haggling vendors. TEXT BY DISPLACED UYGHURS.
