An exclusive free experience straight from Afghanistan.

The 'Through Our Eyes: Art by Afghan Women and Girls' free art exhibition gives a glimpse into the life, challenges, and hopes of Afghan women and girls experiencing gender apartheid under the Taliban regime.

The exhibition amplifies the unseen voices of Afghan girls and young women who are living under one of the most restrictive environments in the world today. The artists whose arts will be showcased draws from firsthand experiences of the oppressive bans and restrictions on education, work, and public life enforced by the Taliban. Together, their work forms a collective narrative that challenges stereotypes and brings to light the human experiences behind the crisis.
