AFGHANISTAN, IMAGES FROM AN ERA OF PEACE
COLLECTION OF VINTAGE PHOTOGRAPHS AVAILABLE FOR WORLD-WIDE EXHIBITION

I am pleased to announce my association with ArtVision Exhibitions, LLC. As one of the leading traveling photo exhibition organizations, ArtVision will manage all aspects of the exhibition in the US and abroad. For complete exhibition details please visit the ArtVisions website at: www.artvisionexhibitions.com or contact Ms. Vickie A. Rehberg at vrehberg@artvisionexhibitions.com.

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 thugs and gun-wielding terrorists.



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.
