Feature Project

We are currently working on the Human Thesis: Afghan Stories. Hand-woven stories of enduring human displacement.

 

A multidisciplinary art project that aims to express past and ongoing displacement experienced by people of Afghanistan.

The stories are shared collectively as a family or a group, where a hand-made sculpture of each group is created with woven stories of all the members and their own experiences of enduring human displacement. The project will embody the themes of identity, freedom, and home.

The aim is to provide a voice for those who have been displaced, build solidarity, create a pathway for healing and generate awareness amongst non-Afghan people.
