The X-Student Research Group ‘Afghanistan through the lens of local photographers’, an initiative of the Berlin University Alliance and in cooperation with Angoor Visuals, is hosting its closing exhibition at the Institut für Asien- und Afrikawissenschaften on Thursday, 15th February, 2024. The exhibition, in which participating students will present the results of their research projects from over the course of Winter Semester 2023/24, invites visitors to question existing representations of Afghanistan, introducing them to local photographers including Emroo, Zakir Mandegar, and members of Angoor Visuals, and ultimately reflecting on how the images we see of Afghanistan shape our understanding of the country and its people.

The exhibition will take place from 4 to 6 p.m. in Room 507 (5th Floor). No registration required. All welcome!
