To mark Afghan women's day on FRANCE 24, we hear from two women wielding their art in resistance against the Taliban. Performance and visual artist Kubra Khademi lives in France because her artwork provoked death threats at home in Afghanistan. Now based in Paris, she creates artwork about being in exile. Since she's been here she's been communicating about the plight of Afghan people, especially women, through art.
Despite the Taliban's destruction of culture in Afghanistan, Afghan artists living in Paris and elsewhere in exile continue to create. We also hear from filmmaker Samereh Rezaie, who fled to Paris at the time of the Afghan takeover.
