Life, and Art, in Afghanistan with Francesca Recchia | Episode 17

Covert Contact - A podcast by John W. Little

Categorie:

In this episode I catch up with Francesca Recchia to get an update on life in Kabul, Afghanistan where, mostly thanks to the weather, life has been even more difficult than usual. But the conversation also shifts quickly to the subject of art, and artists, in the country. Francesca is working hard to develop cultural programs there and she explains how local artists view and approach their work in a conservative environment. You can read some of Francesca's work at Muftah.org, follow her on Twitter @kiccovich, read her blog, or support her work by buying her books - The Little Book of Kabul, Picnic in a Minefield, and Devices for Political Action: The Collective Towns in Iraqi Kurdistan
