Photographer Peggy Kelsey will discuss her exhibit, "The Afghan Women's Project," which is on display in the third floor of CMU's Park Library until April 17. She will share scenes from the places she visited around Afghanistan, including Talogan in the north, Herat in the west, and Bamyian, the place where Buddhist statues were blown up. One of her goals for the presentation is to dispel several myths about the country and society, including the difference between Islamic Fundamentalism and Traditionalism, stereotypes about Afghan men, the issue of the burka and more.

Admission is free and open to the public. For more information, call the Women's Studies Program at 989-774-3601 or download the event flyer in Word or PDF.
