In Defiance of History: Afghanistan 1973 - 2003

Photographer Luke Powell captures the beauty and dignity of Afghanistan from the cities in the news to remote villages reachable only on horseback. He photographed the country extensively throughout the 1970s as a tourist and again from 2000 – 2003 in the employ of the United Nations to document minefields, mine victims, and demining efforts. Powell’s images of Afghanistan have been widely exhibited, including shows at the Smithsonian’s Sackler Gallery, the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Manesh Hall in Moscow, and the Fotographie Forum in Frankfurt. Take advantage of this special opportunity to view the images in your own backyard.
