The Kabuler #24 by Lorenzo Meloni

The Kabuler #24 by Lorenzo Meloni

AFGHANISTAN. Herat. January 2022. Outside the Governor's palace, a group of people, mostly women, wait with their documents in hand for the government's promised aid for medicine and food.

Afghanistan has been one of the most documented regions in the world for the last two decades, yet it remains a big mystery for the general audience who finds it hard to grasp the complete picture behind the constant reporting of breaking news.

This collection of 55 NFT is the first part of “The Kabuler” project, in which Lorenzo Meloni partners with Cristina de Middel to produce a full panoramic photograph of the current situation of the country, borrowing the treatment that the media provide to other destinations and topics that are not under constant scrutiny. 

The project will use the sections of a traditional magazine to propose a complete overview of Afghanistan with an editorial structure, that should prevent the audience from falling again into dramatic expectations.
