Barat Ali Batoor, Photographer

Barat Ali Batoor was born in Quetta, Pakistan in 1983, in a family that was driven out of Afghanistan during civil when most of his people, the Hazaras, were massacred. He returned to his ancestral country for first time after September 11, 2001, when the Taliban regime was still in Kandahar despite the U.S. campaign to oust them. After visiting the devastation and destruction of 23 years of war, he decided to work for his country and to draw the world’s attention to the problems facing the country and the plight of the people. He chose photography as his medium of expression.
Through his photographs, he would like to take people to see the realities of lives of the people who want their stories to be heard and seen. His works are published in magazines, newspapers and catalogues such as India Today, Outlook Afghanistan, Afghan Scene, Risk Magazine, Kabul Weekly, Afghanistan Times and others. His photographs have been exhibited in Denmark, Dubai, Australia, Pakistan, Italy, Japan and Afghanistan.
