Afghanistan

Wolverhampton Art Gallery

18 Sep 10 - 20 Nov 10

This exhibition presents a number of contemporary artists’ reflections and visual responses to the people, landscape and politics of Afghanistan.

Exploring the contemporary situation, as well as attempting to provide a historical context for the current conflict, the aims of the exhibition are not to replicate the media coverage but to provide a platform for visitors to form their own responses and opinions.

The exhibition includes artwork from Simon Norfolk, David Cotterrell, Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, Jenny Matthews, Fazal Sheikh, Langlands & Bell, Paul Seawright, Cornford & Cross and Farzana Wahidy.
