Abstract
Powerful photographic responses to the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Conventional war photography depicts dramatic moments of combat captured by heroic male photojournalists; Bringing the War Home offers new approaches and techniques. These include the viewpoints of women, non-combatants, and Iraqis and Afghans; amateur and non-official imagery such as soldiers’ graffiti and personal digital photos; and work reflecting the far-reaching effects of war away from the battle zone.
Featuring work by Peter van Agtmael, Sama Alshaibi, Farhad Ahrarnia, Lisa Barnard, Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, Edmund Clark, Kay May, Asef Ali Mohammad, and Christopher Sims.
