Massoud Hossaini’s “girl in green”, the 10-year-old survivor of a suicide bombing in Kabul, seen on front pages around the world, earned him a Pulitzer Prize, a World Press Award and an NPPA award.
The exhibition of photos by Massoud Hossaini, who is with Agence France-Presse, includes pictures of the attack on December 6, 2010, and also scenes from everyday life in the country he has covered as a photojournalist ever since 2004.

"I see Afghanistan as an outsider, because I did not grow up here”, says Massoud (30) who is an Afghan citizen but was raised in Iran.
“Most Afghan people have war as part of their normal lives, but I never had that in Iran”.
Westerners now tend to see Afghanistan solely as a war which began with Osama bin Laden’s attacks on 9/11. But Afghanistan is Hossaini Massoud’s country and he wants to show traditions and scenes from ordinary, everyday life.
