How can we know a place?

From Fallujah is a group photography exhibit featuring the work of emerging Iraqi photographers. Fallujah is not an Iraq War battlefield. It is a place where people work, attend school, and frequent public spaces wanting what we all want, a chance to peaceably choose our lives. The purpose of this exhibit is to simply make another story about Fallujah visible to American audiences, one that departs from its militarized meaning in cultural memory.
