Making hope visible
While Afghan women and girls have been pushed out of public life since the Taliban's resurgence in power, the "Hope in Darkness" project gives them a space to raise their voices. Despite great personal risks, young Afghan women have captured their experiences, feelings, and hopes with brush and pen. These moving artworks and texts were smuggled to Germany and are presented to a wider public in this exhibition .
The exhibition shows how women in Afghanistan lose their freedom and self-determination through brutal restrictions – and how they nevertheless find ways to express themselves.
