Raven McCarter- Weekly Artist Post: Farzana Wahidy


"I try to show the bigger image, not just show we have problems.....and we do have a lot of problems, but I do want to show normal daily life."
-Farzana Wahidy






'Born in Kandahar, Afghanistan, in 1984, photographer Farzana Wahidy was only a teenager when the Taliban took over the country in 1996. At age 13 she was beaten in the street for not wearing a burqa, she recalls, and she describes those years as a “very closed, very dark time.” To carry a camera would have been unthinkable.'
