Andrew Quilty is an Award-winning photojournalist and author. His work in Afghanistan has been published worldwide and garnered accolades including a World Press Photo award, three Picture of the Year International awards, and nine Walkley Awards, including the Gold Walkley. Curated by Ellie Waterhouse, Afghanistan is a profoundly moving and powerful exhibition of photographs captured during Quilty’s years in the Afghan capital of Kabul from 2013 to 2022. Quilty describes his work from this period as an ‘imperfect portrait of time and place’. His photographs skilfully balance moments of beauty and brutality, humanising the effects of war while inviting reflection on resilience, hope, and the impact of conflict on everyday life.

Counter gaze is a curated exhibition by Sha Sarwari featuring Afghan-Australian artists Tammanna Ali Zada, Razia Ghazal, and Amina Qasim Zada. Presented at Logan Art Gallery in response to Andrew Quilty’s Afghanistan photography series, the exhibition offers a deeply personal counter-narrative shaped by lived experience, memory, and cultural resilience. Through painting, installation, and mixed media, the artists reflect on themes of displacement, identity, and belonging. Their work reclaims narrative space, shifting the focus from conflict to healing and empowerment. Counter gaze invites audiences to engage with Afghanistan’s story through the lens of its diaspora.
