AFGHAN STORIES: Exhibit Web Gallery
Many news stories out of Afghanistan cover the ongoing insurgency and hardships of war. But few tell of how people are rebuilding in war's aftermath. This body of work, exhibited at five venues in New England in 2008 - 2009, explores this other side of Afghanistan.

KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN: March 8, 2009 - A woman wearing a burka holds a baby and joins hundreds of others to pray for peace to commemorate International Women's Day in Kandahar City, one of the most volatile parts of Afghanistan. In a region where women seldom leave home for any reason, a public gathering like this one of so many women is unusual and attests to their strong wish to advocate for peace.
