Mankica Kranjec / The Overlooked (newspaper)

The Overlooked, a comprehensive photographic project by Mankica Kranjec, puts working women, of different ages and religious and social backgrounds, in the foreground and gives them a voice. This unseen labor force keeps the country running in times of peace and crisis.

Nurses, firefighters, cashiers at grocery stores, postal carriers, teachers, public transportation drivers, garbage collectors, delivery service workers, and many more took care of those most in need during the recent crisis. While the world had stopped, essential workers ensured that basic goods were supplied to citizens and literally held everything together. These workers are a vital part of the foundation on which our society has been built. However, being essential only sometimes means being well-compensated or even noticed and respected.
