Photojournalist Ivan Blazhev looks at the living conditions college students residing in on campus housing at a Macedonian university encounter and he shares their story with students worldwide in his photo essay
Macedonia: Life In A Student Dormitory
As Blazhev describes, "The student residence hall “Stiv Naumov” is part of the State Student Housing Center – Skopje, a state institution which takes care of housing and meal plans for students coming from other parts of Macedonia to attend university in the capital city of Skopje.
“Stiv Naumov” is by far the largest residence hall, with housing capacity for roughly 2000 students. Consisting of barracks that have been around for about 40 years, two newer male dorms, and one female dorm were added in the early 1990s."
Ivan Blazhev says, "I visited the Hall for the first time in the fall of 2007. No matter how much one is prepared, even at first encounter, the dire and physically-harsh living conditions that are part of daily life for the Stiv Naumov residents leaves a lasting imprint. The stench from the restrooms that seeps through the hallways, the half-rotten furnishings of the rooms, the few functioning showers and accommodations without telephone or internet connections…."
To meet the university students Ivan Blazhev encountered who live in “Stiv Naumov” please view Macedonia: Life In A Student Dormitory, a documentary series appearing on Gaia Photos, a new international photography source comprised of 42 photojournalists from around the world whose mission is to promote quality and diversity in documentary photography.
