Today, artists in this country--either self-taught, having grown up under a Taliban regime that banned images, or trained formally in exile--have no heritage to negotiate and no rules to break: anything seems possible. Many of the works included here directly confront the country's traumas--such as Latif Eshraq's \u003ci\u003eFarkhunda\u003c\/i\u003e, which depicts the mob lynching of Farkhunda Malikzada, who was falsely accused of burning a Quran.\u003cbr\u003eThis innovative survey brings together photography, calligraphy, drawing, video, painting and installations by artists such as Kaveh Ayreek, Abdul Wahab Mohmand, Latif Eshraq, Asar Laiq, Kubra Khademi, M. Mahdi Hamed Hassanzada, Farzana Wahidy and Zolaykha Sherzad, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9 x 6.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 21, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47402505404637,"sku":"9782330128302","price":45.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/QU15V3NucDdiRWlvU1RoK2lIOUdXdz09.webp?v=1771092533","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/art-under-fire-in-afghanistan-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
