Between 1993 and 2009, Australian photographer, Stephen Dupont travelled to and from the landlocked and conflict-ridden country of Afghanistan, documenting the rise and fall of several regimes and gaining unparalleled access to political leaders. Afghanistan: The Perils of Freedom 1993 - 2009, is a retrospective selection of images of the country where Dupont has covered everything from civil war and the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, to the launch of Operation Enduring Freedom and the ongoing war on terrorism. His extended focus on the country has resulted in a series of images that vividly depict how life continues during perpetual war (particularly among the people of the Northern Alliance) as well as single images that have helped to define and change the nature of that war. His images of American soldiers burning the bodies of dead Taliban in Afghanistan not only earned him a rare Robert Capa Gold Medal Award citation from the Overseas Press Club of Amer­ica in 2005, but also led to policy changes and cultural-awareness training for U.S. troops. Stephen Dupont is an award-winning photojournalist, documentary filmmaker, and war correspondent. He is internationally recognized for his work in some of the world's most dangerous areas, including Afghanistan, Burma, Cambodia, Iraq, Papua New Guinea, Rwanda, Somalia, and Zaire.

The tragedy hit close to home for the Australian-based photographer who had visited the island in 2007 and been moved by the number of children who had been sold, kidnapped or given into a life of slavery. Photographs in the exhibition are for sale and all proceeds will go to orphanages and Haiti Earthquake Relief. Given that so many children were orphaned because of the earthquake, the child slavery situation has worsened. This is why this work is so important.
