“There is something powerful and humanizing about a portrait so big that you have no choice but to look the subject in the eye, or a landscape that feels like you are standing in the middle of the rolling green hills of northern Afghanistan.”
This exhibit allows the current narrative of Afghanistan to drop away and instead brings the color, beauty, and heartbreak to the front through the lens of the global community of photographers.” ~ Shannon Galpin

A Kickstarter campaign is underway to help cover the costs of production, transportation, and security for the Kabul exhibition. The event will serve as the “cultural backbone” for Galpin’s non-profit organization Mountain2Mountain’s outreach and fundraising programs in Afghanistan.
