The Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery presents "Histories Are Mirrors: The Path of Conflict Through Afghanistan and Iraq," featuring the photography of Tyler Hicks. The exhibition includes 88 works by the award winning photojournalist, who has been documenting Afghanistan and Iraq since 9/11 and whose images capture the raging path of conflict of that region. "Histories Are Mirrors" is a traveling exhibition organized and circulated by Umbrage Editions, which has published a book of the same title.

Hicks was born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1969 and graduated with a degree in journalism from Boston University in 1992. After working for a number of years as a news photographer, he traveled to Kosovo in 1999 and Kenya in 2000–2001 on contract for the New York Times.

He traveled to Afghanistan after 9/11 to document the war against the Taliban for the Times and Getty Images. The recipient of the 2001 International Center for Photography Infinity Award for Photojournalism for his coverage in Afghanistan, he has also received awards for World Press and Pictures of the Year.

As a Times staff photographer since 2002, Hicks has traveled to Iraq on several occasions to document the ongoing conflict.

The Gallery is open Monday through Friday, 12 noon to 4:30 pm, on Thursday until 8 pm, and Saturday 1 to5 pm. Admission is free. For more information, call 410-455-2270.
