Countering Fragmentation

Due to ongoing destabilization, destruction and flight, ever more people in and from Afghanistan are facing the ruins and fragments of their collective history and culture. Moderated by Moshtari Hilal, artist, curator and co-founder of the AVAH Collective, the workshop Countering Fragmentation brings together Afghans to engage in direct dialogue with the invited artists. How can art bring together fragmented, lost knowledge and scattered experiences?

The filmmaker Shahrbanoo Sadat and the artist and founder of the former CCAA, Center for Contemporary Art Afghanistan, Rahraw Omarzad will present their work and share their knowledge with the participants. The workshop specifically invites people with biographical connections to Afghanistan to jointly determine their own thematic priorities.
