Description

Afghan artist, and founder of Mastooraat Organization, Fatimah Hossaini talks about her journey as a photographer and an artist in Afghanistan. She addresses what inspired her to go back to Kabul and start her project, not as a documentary photographer or crisis reporter, but as a staged photographer in the middle of a war-torn country. Fatimah captures the challenges that the women in her photos and she herself have gone through during the last years of the republic in Afghanistan. Showcasing her photographs, Fatimah will share her insights, followed by a signing of her book “Beauty amid war” which is available in the “Women’s Forum bookshop”.
