Art
Exhibition by Photojournalist
Zalmai Ahad
More than forty images by
the Afghani photojournalist Zalmaï document the uncertainty
of life in ambiguous territories--Mali, Indonesia, the Philippines,
Afghanistan the Central African Republic. Landscapes, war
zones, even hospitals appear menacing, and the dispossessed
human figures inhabiting them so fragile that survival itself
comes to seem miraculous. Organized by the Musée
d'Elysée, Lausanne, Switzerland.

Mohmand
show at Hothouse
Engineer Mohmand,
originally from Afghanistan, was forced to seek
political asylum in the U.S. due to the Taliban Regime's ban
on all music in his country and the anti-violence message
he preached. He is an accomplished Pashtun Folk & Ghazal
singer and plays the ancient musical instrument called a "Rabâb,"
as well as harmonium and tabla. He has a self-titled CD out,

MASSOUD,
THE AFGHAN
A legendary documentary
portrait of the charismatic anti-Taliban leader of the Northern
Alliance, Ahmed Shah Massoud, assassinated purportedly on
the orders of Osama bin Laden. The filmmaker gives
a fascinating first-person account of eight visits to Afghanistan
over a 17-year period interviewing this unlikely guerilla
hero,
who was abandoned by the West. It is an extraordinary journey,
punctuated by the filmmaker's trenchant thoughts on the failure
of the West to support Massoud and his followers over more
than two decades. |
