DIALOGUE OF CULTURES: AFGHANISTAN AND THE WORLD
A Photographic Exhibition by award-winning Gabriele ‘Kash’ Torsello: Temporary Work for Afghans, launches in London on June 12, 2007.

Kash is a London-based Italian photojournalist. He was kidnapped and held hostage in Afghanistan last October, and with this powerful exhibition of images from Afghanistan Kash returns to the public arena.

This exhibition-talk will illustrate his ongoing project, Temporary Work for Afghans - a project focused on the implementation of understanding between cultures, which explores the structure for an open-ended dialogue towards collaboration & peace.

Over the years Kash has compassionately chronicled the life of Kashmiris and Afghans - their pain, their hopes and their vibrancy - bringing their plight to the notice of the world. During this time he has made his own personal journey, embracing the cultures and accepting Islam.
