Afghanistan’s other voices: the artist

Postby Allegro » Sun Mar 21, 2010 5:25 am

I first stumbled upon The Real News dot com video presentation in mid year 2008.

    YouTube notes. Kabul-based arts professor, Ali Kahn, is one of a tiny number of Afghan artists who manage to make a living from their art. Persecuted for his ethnicity and forced to hide his work during the Taliban rule, he describes how his painting has been influenced by those experiences.
Art will be the last bastion when all else fades away.

Yep. I'm sure there must be other examples, too. He was always displaying his entitlement to others' persons. Remember the neck rub on Merkel?

And in memory of the 30th anniversary of Archbishop Oscar Romero's assassination, some thoughts on JP2's old assassin of Liberation Theology:
