Beauty amid war is the theme of the work of the Afghan artist and photographer Fatimah Hossaini. For the series she asked Pashtun, Tajik, Hazara, Qizilbash and Uzbek women to pose in front of her camera in their distinctive dress. The pictures exalt the colours and the power of the styles, inviting viewers to meet a different face of women generally seen as weak and as victims. The colour photographs are accompanied by texts by the artist, Rachel Deghati, Reza Deghati, Anilda Ibrahimi, Fevsiye Rahgozar Barlas, Shirin Zahara and Nunzio Fiore. The publication is promoted by the Academy of Fine Arts of Lecce.
