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.
