In a 2 x 2 meter recording studio, people talk to each other about their very personal memories of home in Afghanistan or Iran. The result is a recording of stories, memories and snapshots that provide a diverse view of a region that we know exclusively as a place of war through the media. The oral history project was conducted in 2016 and 2018 as part of a multi-year research effort by the Afghanistan newsgroup.

All these conversations form the Afghan Memories, a growing archive of eyewitnesses that provides a multi-layered view of life in a region that no one can describe better than the people who come from there themselves.
