How can photography shape our perceptions & affect the future of Afghan women?

Farzana Wahidy was born in Kandahar, Afghanistan, in 1984 and grew up during the Soviet invasion, the bloody civil war that followed and five years of suppressive Taliban rule. At the age of 17, she discovered photography after joining the NGO Aina (which was founded by 2014 Mountainfilm guest photojournalist Reza). Photography became her passion and a way to give Afghan women a voice. Wahidy’s work has since appeared in publications around the world, and she, along with her husband Massoud Hossaini, is featured in the documentary Frame by Frame.
