“Afghan Women Explore Themes of Identity & Home” through Photographs & “Story Cloths”
This unique exhibit showcases the artistic creations from two CRIW Expressive Arts Initiatives which allowed mostly preliterate women from rural Afghanistan who are often unheard due to barriers of language, gender, poverty, and education, to tell their own stories through their photographs and hand-sewn “story cloths”. This exhibit is made by possible through the generous support of the International Association of New Haven.
