Met incredible artists, activists & peacebuilders from 80+ countries—united by one vision: a creative, peaceful world. From Amman to Geneva, I shared one message: make art the heartbeat of every initiative. Art heals, connects & inspires where words fail. Let’s keep creating.

Honored to speak at Innovating Justice for Afghanistan’s Women and Girls alongside SR Richard Bennett, Amb. Andisha & the brilliant Geneva Graduate Institute team. Art, research & advocacy united for survivor-centered justice.

20 ans plus tard, en 2021, #Artips relayait cette triste #histoire en même temps que l’appel de @omaidsharifi.bsky.social, fondateur de l’ONG #ArtLords, à soutenir les #artistes afghans menacés par le retour au pouvoir des #Talibans. Nous ne les oublions pas 🫶 artlords.co/about-us/

📢 Join us to support survivor-centred accountability: Innovating Justice for #Afghanistan's Women & Girls: Unlocking Pathways for Universal Jurisdiction 🗓️ 16 June 2025 | 17:00 CEST 📍 Room A2, Geneva Graduate Institute 🔗 tinyurl.com/innovatejust... @gvagrad-mint.bsky.social @omaidsharifi.bsky.social

at #ArtLords, art is more than just paint on canvases—it’s a lifeline. In communities where hardship and conflict weigh heavy, we create spaces for healing, hope, and connection. Through these spaces, we give people a break from their struggles, offering a chance to express, to dream, and to heal.

Missing my mountains. #Afghanistan
