Afghanistan, Images From An Era Of Peace
Opening Event May 8th, 2010
Running through July 3rd, 2010
Coventry Cathedral
Coventry, West Midlands, United Kingdom
Nearly every day we are exposed to images of the people, landscapes and everyday life in Afghanistan. The world's press focuses its lens on the turmoil and despair of the ongoing tragedy that has been unfolding there for the past thirty years to remind us of the importance of saving Afghanistan from the forces intent on its dominance or destruction. As a young traveler, I visited Afghanistan in the early 1970s. Afghanistan, Images From An Era Of Peace is the resulting exhibition and offers visitors a valuable record of what life in Afghanistan was like more than 30 years ago--a contrasting view to what has become the stereotypical press imagery: black-turbaned, gun-wielding thugs.
Through these (50) powerful black and white images and historic artifacts, we discover the fascinating history of the once peaceful Afghanistan – its people, landscapes and ancient ruins in a poor but culturally and historically rich nation.
