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 20, 2009 - A woman prepares to leave her courtyard and go out on the street, dressed in an all-covering garment called a chaderi. Due to the conservative culture in Kandahar, women past puberty often do not go out on the street at all, but when they do they wear chaderis or burqas to completely cover themselves.
