OUT OF THE DUST - LIFE IN AFGHANISTAN
A powerful collection of images of everyday life in Afghanistan will be displayed for the first time in the UK in a new exhibition this summer.
'Out of the Dust - Life in Afghanistan' features images by Dutch photographer Hans Stakelbeek. The exhibition runs from 30 July-31 August 2008 at PM Gallery in west London.
In 2007 Hans Stakelbeek was commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs to document the reconstruction of Afghanistan during the efforts to restore peace and stability to the country.
Stakelbeek made four trips last year, shooting in Kabul and Uruzgan, as well as other remote areas.
As the project developed, he also became interested in capturing the stories of the people he came to know, as well as the reconstruction efforts required by his official posting.
'Out of the Dust' presents a set of images that pays tribute to the determination of the Afghan people to survive and live as normally as possible through the upheaval - building homes, going to school and working and playing in testing and frightening times.
The collection gives a rare view of daily life in Afghanistan without a military slant and each photograph comes complete with Stakelbeek's own written commentary, which reveals the stories within.
The exhibition is an up-to-date presentation of current life and an opportunity to see how the country is changing, how the reconstruction is progressing and to witness the perseverance of ordinary people in an extraordinar...

The anniversary of Ahmed Shah Massood's death is a national holiday. In honour of his martyrdom, his portrait is put up in the stadium in Kabul every year. Massood, the great grandson of a Tajik commander, played an important role in driving the Soviet army out of Afghanistan. He survived at least nine major Russian assaults. He later became a minister in the government of President Rabani. From 1996, he fought against the Taliban as the leader of the Northern Alliance., Two days before the 11 September attacks on the United States, Massood was killed by a Taliban suicide bomber. A year later, President Hamid Karzai pronounced him a National Hero of Afghanistan.

A Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) uses slides to show the local people that the Dutch troops have come with good intentions. The Uruzgan Task Force was launched on 1 August 2006 with the aim of maintaining security and starting reconstruction work in the area, together with the local population. The PRT is a special military unit that helps with the reconstruction of the country.

Almost every car in Afghanistan is a Toyota, because there are plenty of spare parts for them in circulation. A second-hand Mercedes is cheaper than a second-hand Toyota, but there are hardly any spare parts for them in Afghanistan, so they can't be repaired. Cars are all imported - often on top of buses.

A girls' school in Uruzgan. This may seen ordinary, but it isn't. Under the Taliban regime, girls were banned from attending school. Despite the primitive circumstances, girls and boys now have better prospects because they can go to school again. Teaching is a dangerous and difficult profession. Some people are still not used to the idea that girls should attend school. And teachers have trouble getting paid. The money is brought from the capital, through an area that is still under Taliban control. So teachers hire smugglers who collect the money for them in town and take a cut for themselves., Fortunately, girls also attend school nowadays. Education is the key to Afghanistan's future and a priority of the Netherlands' contribution to the reconstruction effort. Afghanistan is a country of children and young people

OUT OF THE DUST - LIFE IN AFGHANISTAN
A powerful collection of images of everyday life in Afghanistan will be displayed for the first time in the UK in a new exhibition this summer.
'Out of the Dust - Life in Afghanistan' features images by Dutch photographer Hans Stakelbeek. The exhibition runs from 30 July-31 August 2008 at PM Gallery in west London.
In 2007 Hans Stakelbeek was commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs to document the reconstruction of Afghanistan during the efforts to restore peace and stability to the country.
Stakelbeek made four trips last year, shooting in Kabul and Uruzgan, as well as other remote areas.
As the project developed, he also became interested in capturing the stories of the people he came to know, as well as the reconstruction efforts required by his official posting.
'Out of the Dust' presents a set of images that pays tribute to the determination of the Afghan people to survive and live as normally as possible through the upheaval - building homes, going to school and working and playing in testing and frightening times.
The collection gives a rare view of daily life in Afghanistan without a military slant and each photograph comes complete with Stakelbeek's own written commentary, which reveals the stories within.
The exhibition is an up-to-date presentation of current life and an opportunity to see how the country is changing, how the reconstruction is ...

Aspiring police officers are trained very quickly in the many facets of their work., They learn how to search a person and how to use a truncheon without hitting people on the head. They also learn how to set up an ambush, patrol an area and deal with intruders. By February 2008, 1001 men had passed the basic examination for assistant police officer. Two hundred of them went on to train as police officers, and another 480 were planning to undergo training.

- ISAF troops in Afghanistan. After the attacks on New York and Washington on 11 September 2001, the international community declared war on terrorism. The terrorists responsible for the attacks in the USA were members of the Al Qaida network, led by Osama Bin Laden. Since Al Qaida had close ties with the Taliban in Afghanistan, the United States and Great Britain launched operation Enduring Freedom, and succeeded in toppling their regime. Shortly after that, ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) was launched under the auspices of NATO, and with a UN mandate. The aim of the mission was to help the interim government maintain security and the Afghan people rebuild their country., By February 2008, more than 40 countries were participating in ISAF, with a total of 35,000 troops. The Dutch contribution varies from 1500 to 2000 soldiers. The Netherlands is active throughout Afghanistan, helping the Afghans restore the education system, improve healthcare services and build a system of government. The Dutch effort in the south of the country has the highest profile, because that is where our troops are stationed. The Netherlands shares responsibility for the province of Uruzgan with Australia. The Dutch forces started building bases in Tarin Kowt (Camp Hadrian) and Deh Rawood (Kamp Holland) in the spring of 2006.

Despite the primitive circumstances, girls and boys now have better prospects because they can go to school again. Teaching is a dangerous and difficult profession. Some people are still not used to the idea that girls should attend school. And teachers have trouble getting paid. The money is brought from the capital, through an area that is still under Taliban control. So teachers hire smugglers who collect the money for them in town and take a cut for themselves., Fortunately, girls also attend school nowadays. Education is the key to Afghanistan's future and a priority of the Netherlands' contribution to the reconstruction effort. Afghanistan is a country of children and young people

- Very little remains of the royal palace of Dar-ul-Aman. The former residence of the kings of Afghanistan is now only a ghostly reminder of how the city used to be. The palace, - originally intended to house Afghanistan's parliament - is close to Kabul Museum, which has also been plundered. The museum is now being renovated, with Dutch support. {br}{br}The palace has been in the hands of NATO troops since 2005. It is now used as an observation post. Restoration work has not yet begun, because it is under NATO occupation and thus vulnerable to attack. There are still plans to house parliament in the building sometime in the future.
