Afghanistan: The transition - public exhibition

Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF)'s photography exhibition, in collaboration with documentary photographers Andrea Bruce and Mikhail Galustov, presents a series of highly evocative photographs capturing personal stories from MSF’s Afghanistan projects to highlight the serious ongoing problems of accessing basic health care in Afghanistan.

The exhibition will be on display in collaboration with the Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute (HCRI), a University of Manchester research institute which brings together the disciplines of medicine and the humanities. It informs and supports policy and decision makers, and fosters increased understanding and debate within the field. HCRI provides a centre of excellence for practitioners in emergencies and conflicts, delivering undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

The exhibition will be on display at the John Rylands Library in The Atrium Gallery, from 1st December 2014 to mid-February 2015.

Visitors are welcome as follows:

Monday, 12 noon - 5pm Tuesday to Saturday, 10 am - 5 pm Sunday, 12 noon - 5 pm (excluding Christmas closure dates)

This exhibition is open to all, no tickets are required.
