Description
Twice a month Noor Agha Faqiri fires up the kiln at his small workshop around 50 kilometres (30 miles) northwest of the Afghan capital to fire a fresh batch of pottery. Faqiri is one of dozens of potters in Qarya-e-Kulalan (potter's village) in picturesque Istalif district, but many have ceased production since the Taliban's return to power in 2021 as the distressed economy has led to sales plummeting.
"I feel heartbroken. I want every shop next to me to be open and our business to improve day by day," says Faqiri. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES
