PTSD in Afghanistan: A photo exhibition depicting the psychological impact of war and violence on Afghanistan’s civilian population.
Winners of the Afghanistan Journalism Competition, run by BAAG (British & Irish Agencies Afghanistan Group), documentary photographer Magda Rakita and academic writer Mark du Rond spent ten days in the Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif with the staff and patients at both the Alemi Neuro Psychiatric Hospital and the public hospital, whilst also visiting a local mullah to see their more traditional approach to treating mental health disorders.
MY LIVER IS BLEEDING presents 16 photographs by Magda taken during their trip. It depicts the lives, struggles and hopes of the medical staff, the patients and their families as they attempt to address the mental health issues of a population surrounded by conflict.
This exhibition is in association with LSE Arts.
