Abstract
-
My creative project presents the city of Kabul in Afghanistan, showcasing the ways that diverse sociopolitical dynamic clash, but also converge, and together shape the city’s evolution over time. Despite being often overshadowed by narratives of solely conflict or only glory, my project aims to shed light on Kabul emerging as a crucible for social reform, reflecting resilience amongst turmoil, as well as sparks of agency, freedom, and democratic expression within a dystopic city of control, restrictions, and human right abolitions. The city is a result of the complex web of ever-changing urban culture and intricate relationships between multiple layers.
