Woven Voices of Afghan Women is an immersive and participatory exhibition born from the encounter between contemporary art, illustrations and the poems of Afghan women.
What if art could become a space where silenced voices could find a place?
> Woven Voices of Afghan Women is an immersive and participatory exhibition born from the encounter between contemporary art and the poems, illustrations, and paintings of Afghan women.
> Through texts, illustrated works, installations, videos, and a large collective braid created with the public, the exhibition invites visitors to discover stories of courage, memory, transmission, and hope.
> At the heart of the installation, artworks engage in a dialogue with an immense braid that traverses the exhibition space. Each thread represents a voice, each knot an encounter, each gesture an act of solidarity.
> The exhibition is the result of a collaboration between artist Manuela Capraro and Afghan artist Marmar Danish Azime, along with several Afghan women who chose to share their stories through writing, drawing, and spoken word.
> More than just an exhibition, Woven Voices of Afghan Women is a living project, built with the participants and enriched by the public through workshops, meetings, and moments of collective creation.
> Each visitor is invited to become an active participant in this work by discovering the poems, engaging with the artist Marmar, and participating in a reflection on memory, freedom, cultural transmission, and the place of women in our societies.
> This initial presentation in Arles is intended to become a travelling exhibition, destined to tour France and internationally to continue this dialogue between cultures.
