NEW DELHI: A unique photo exhibition after travelling all the way from its place of origin, Afghanistan, has finally made its way to the Capital.
Titled “Footloose in Afghanistan”, the three-day exhibition that opens this coming Monday features the works of two amateur photographers, Rakesh Sood and Aly Mawji. These artistes spent years working towards rebuilding the war ravaged land of Afghanistan and fell in love with its harsh beauty, its soft, poetic heart and its vulnerable and indomitable spirit.

As representative of the Aga Khan Development network in Afghanistan, Aly Mawji received the Raymond Georis Prize for innovative philanthropy and for his contributions “to the long term development of Afghanistan and a strengthening of its communities” in 2005.
Despite his busy schedule, he manages to find time for his camera, flying, poetry and literature.
His photographs titled “Children in Badakshan: 1998-2000” during the civil war were exhibited at universities in the Unites States.
