The Piruzai – Afghanistan 1971
An exhibition of photographs by Nancy Lindisfarne-Tapper and Richard Tapper
In 1971-2, Nancy and Richard lived for nearly a year with the Piruzai in north-central Afghanistan. A mixture of landscapes, portraits, documentary, and candid images, the photographs tell a seasonal story of work, play, weddings, and the long journey to summer pastures. Reflecting what people wanted to record about their lives and families, these photographs are a visual record of the lives of the Piruzai just before fifty years of war and other disasters which have shaped Afghanistan.
