The hollow niche that encases the shattered remains of the Buddha in Bamiyan, an act enforced by the Taliban in 2001, was one of the images which seemingly captured the fate of Afghanistan – of religious intolerance and extremism. The issue attempts to unearth newer strains of practice that could unravel how visual culture may have changed through social media interventions and other practice driven initiatives, looking at more local imaging traditions and personal narratives with a generation that today faces a brutal past but is willing to freely engage in dialogue with the rest of the world. Hence through this issue, we seek to understand photography’s role in evolving visual histories that run parallel to news media, in a country where documentary and evidence photography have more likely been the predominant forms.
