Distant Attachments: Unsettling Contemporary Afghan Diasporic Art [NYC]

Join the Afghan Afghan American Artists and Writers Association (AAAWA) for a three-day series of literary, visual, and performance art responding to the different relationships, connections, detachments, and dispositions one can have to “the homeland” in one’s creative work. Get a glimpse of artistic productions from within the Afghan diaspora in North America that unsettle the meaning of homeland, and how the condition of diaspora both opens and forecloses the political potential of art.

Artists include: Aisha Wahab, Angela Ahmadi, Fazila Amiri, Hangama Amiri, Gazelle Samizay, Ghulam Pardais, Laimah Osman, Leila Christine Nadir, Madina Tabesh, Mahnaz Rezaie, Mariam Said, Marzia Nawrozi, Mina Zohal, Qais Essar, Seelai Karzai, Yelda Mohmand, Yusuf Misdaq, and Zakarya Sherzad.
