Streets of Afghanistan

Streets of Afghanistan is a life-sized, art installation that highlights the beauty and soul of Afghanistan while challenging existing stereotypes of the war-torn country.  A ground-breaking collaboration of Afghan and Western photographers through life-sized photography that was launched as a pop-up exhibition in public spaces around Afghanistan in 2012. A book documenting the project of the same name, Streets of Afghanistan, was published by Hatherleigh Press in 2013.
