"Through her lens she gives us her powerful, yet poetic reading of courageous and admirable people".

It is with those words that the Vice Presidency of the World Bank introduces the work of Iranian photographer, Roshanak Bahramlou.

Her photographic exhibition "Intimités Afghanes" is organized by the World Bank Vice Presidency and its Art Program Service, in  Washington D.C. for the first time in the US.

Roshanak's work is part of the series of works of 10 women photographers in a worldwide selection.
