The complexity of narrating Afghanistan
- Wednesday 19 October 2022 at 18:30 - 19:30
Decades of conflict have produced multiple narratives of Afghanistan: journalists, aid workers, the military and researchers have helped build a specific (and sometimes limited) version of the history of a multifaceted country. The speakers discuss the possible ways of rendering the complexity and contradictions of vast and important issues such as human rights, the condition of women, the role of the Taliban and humanitarian organisations through images and words. With Lorenzo Tugnoli and Francesca Recchia.

A discussion with Stefano Graziani, artist and photographer, and Giovanni Semi, Professor of Sociology of Urban Cultures and General Sociology at the University of Turin and author of Il Mulino.
