Mursal Mohammadi is a documentary photographer based in Toronto, Canada. Originally from Afghanistan, her work explores themes of identity, migration, gender, and memory, using photography, archival materials, and storytelling to challenge dominant narratives.
Her projects, including Home and Belongingness, How Can One Abandon Love?, and In Between Spaces, examine the intersection of personal and political histories. Through her lens, she navigates the complexities of displacement and belonging, capturing stories that bridge past and present.
Mursal’s approach to storytelling is informed by her personal experience of migration and cultural transition. She sees her work as a way to engage in conversations about the intersection of memory, place, and belonging. By documenting stories that are often overlooked, she hopes to contribute to a more inclusive and empathetic understanding of global issues.
Currently pursuing an MFA in Documentary Media at Toronto Metropolitan University, she recently published Between Then and Now, a photobook reflecting on her experiences of memory, identity, and change. She continues to explore how documentary media can challenge and reshape narratives about identity, belonging, and the human experience.
