ARTISTS IN AFGHANISTAN
I became aware of this young Afghani artist during the withdrawal of American and allied troops from Afghanistan. I found her official website and her social media accounts. I follow her to make sure that she is still alive, producing and ‘reporting’ on the status of her country.
With the return of Taliban rule, what were things can’t be taken for granted any more.
Here’s to Shamsia and her fellow artists – thinking about them!
