Opens Monday: Star Tribune photographer Richard Sennott and reporter Mark Brunswick recently spent four weeks in Afghanistan with a Minnesota Army National Guard unit. Besides their accounts in the paper, Sennott has mounted a show of 75 photos from the trip and his travels in Kurdistan and Iraq. While the exhibit is called "War Roads," it's not exclusively about battle scenes or the devastation caused by the endless conflicts that have engulfed those countries. Sleepy children still straggle off to school in the morning; women shop; laundry dries on courtyard lines; donkeys trudge past, pulling carts of produce and weaponry. Daily life threads through war zones even as Minnesotans meet the mujahedeen. Mon.-April 14. Free. Sennott will give a talk at 7 p.m. Tue., $10. Reception 7-9 p.m. March 5, free. Mpls Photo Center, 2400 N. 2nd St. 612-643-3511 or www.mplsphotocenter.com. MARY ABBE
