Photo Peshawar' delves into the largely unexplored culture of photography in the Pakistani
frontier city of Peshawar from the 1940s to the present day. Photography in Peshawar
has historically and culturally found itself caught between the creative and conservative
forces of both India and Afghanistan. Variously borne of British rule, the partition
of India, war in neighbouring Afghanistan, the rise of the Taliban, local tribal law,
a historical prohibition on image-making in Islam, the practice of purdah (the veiling
of females in public), and the regional movie industry, there is a tangible stress
between the practice of photography as it is pursued and the culture in which it is
lived. With nearly one hundred and fifty photographs, 'photography as craft is what
this splendid volume examines - photography at the living, bleeding intersection of
culture, war, frontier and fantasy, the sheer human inventiveness that results from
a magnificent and tragic brew of technology and history'
