Fishermen and traders work at Keratsini Central Fish Market in Piraeus, Greece, on December 19, 2025. The Fish Market is one of the most vibrant and demanding hubs of the urban economy, located in the area of Keratsini, Piraeus. It is the place where the night's catch arrives and where the daily journey of fish toward markets, restaurants, and homes begins. It operates mainly in the early morning hours, while the city is still asleep, moving to intense rhythms, filled with voices, negotiations, and constant motion. It is primarily a wholesale space: fishermen, traders, transporters, and workers coexist in a cold, damp environment, marked by strong smells and artificial light. There, the value of the product is determined in real time, often through informal or organized auction processes. Beyond its commercial role, the fish market is a microcosm of labor. Tired bodies, hands cracked by salt, repetitive movements -- a daily reality invisible to most. It is a place where time is measured differently: not by clocks, but by crates being emptied and trucks pulling away.

18 August 2024

A devotee from a Sufi order in traditional Tunisian dress is carrying a Sufi flag with burning incense as he is leading the annual procession of Sidi Bou Said in Ariana, Tunisia, on August 11, 2024. The annual procession (Arab: Kharja) known as the Ascension (Arab: Talaa) of Sidi Bou Said is beginning early in the morning in the town of Ariana (a suburb of Tunis) at the mausoleum (Arab: Zaouia) of Sidi Ammar al-Makhloufi (known as the town's saint, who fought against the crusade led by King Louis IX in 1270 AD), where the Sheikhs (an Arabic title of honour given to long-standing spiritual leaders) and the devotees (also called followers) from a Sufi order are reciting some suras from the holy book of Islam, the Koran (Qur'an), in the presence of local residents. They are then taking part in a procession through the streets of the old city. The procession is led by a man representing the city's patron saint (Sidi Ammar al-Makhloufi) on horseback and by the Sheikhs, all followed by the devotees and a large crowd of local residents. The women with their young children are following the men at the back of the procession. The most special and spectacular part of the procession is when the Sufi devotees are entering a state of trance to the rhythm of the dance and spiritual chants. The Sheikhs and the Sufi faithful are then traveling to the coastal town of Sidi Bou Said (a suburb of Tunis). At the end of the afternoon, they are meeting devotees and Sheikhs from the Sufi order of the mausoleum of Sidi Bou Said el-Beji (the town's saint), who are greeting them with spiritual songs, before they are joining a large crowd in a festive procession to the town's mausoleum.
