Exhibition Tour: Our Afghan Family: A Memory of a Life Gone By
Olivier Jobard leads visitors through a long term photographic journey with an Afghan family living through displacement, uncertainty, and exile. The tour explores how trust is built over years, and how photographs accumulate meaning when made with sustained proximity rather than brief access.
Jobard will discuss the ethical responsibilities of following a family through changing circumstances, the decisions involved in editing intimate material, and how photography can preserve memory when a way of life disappears. The tour is a study in commitment, patience, and human connection.
