"There are obviously problems that the children have to face in contemporary Afghanistan which is a society in transition, where strict Muslim rules and the desire for greater freedom have to be reconciled. Until a few years ago, during the Taliban regime girls were completely cut off from education and denied any kind of recreation. Even kite flying had been banned together with western music and any form of art except the religious kind."
Those are the words of photojournalist Gianni Giosue who recently traveled to Kabul, Afghanistan to take a closer look at conditions today in his photo story entitled, Afghanistan: Mobile Mini Circus for Children in Kabul, now appearing on Gaia Photos.
Mr. Giosue describes the people of Afghanistan as, "Brave, ambitious, humble, gentle, resilient and above all hopeful people doing things that all countries need and yet are so difficult."
Stories about people who possess these characteristics are the ones he wants to tell and Gianni has done so in several countries.
He has worked in England and spent two years living in Russia documenting the transition period from Communism to Capitalism.
In 2008, he discovered Afghanistan where he started several personal projects. His photos have been published in England, Russia, China and Japan. He is represented by photo agency On Asia Images.
Presently, Gianni Giosue is based in Tokyo, Japan while covering social issues in Asia.
