What does beauty mean to you?
How has it been co-opted and commodified through time?
Can we hold it? Chase it? Control it?
Amidst one of the worst summers for civilian casualties in Afghanistan’s history (2019), Elena Gallina flew to Kabul to photograph and interview dozens of women about the role beauty plays in their lives: is it a strength or weakness, a source of power or a means of exploitation?
Join us in a community discussion on topics of beauty with Elena Gallina. Gallina will discuss the themes of her research, fieldwork, and her artistic motivation behind the exhibition The New Woman.
