exhibition Afghan Artists in Britain
When you hear the word ‘Afghanistan’, the first thing you think about is the war. But Afghanistan has much more to offer than just that and the recent Afghanistan Festival The Great Game showcases the works by artists and young people who were born in Afghanistan but now live in Britain. The exhibition provides a rare opportunity to see how culture and tradition can combine with arts and how the migration of Afghans has inspired a creative outlet to artists in Britain while giving others the chance to tell stories about such historic traditions as kite –running. Although the festival reminds us of the hardship and sacrifice the Afghani people have to endure in their daily life it also celebrates their courage and strength which is the one of the main messages of the exhibition. / Sophie Khan
