“A nation stays alive when its culture stays alive.” It was a lovely day to visit the National Museum of Afghanistan in #Kabul today. We are so fortunate to have a history this rich!

In this article, I try to understand the current crisis in Afghanistan by centering visual culture as a lens into the social and political history and memory shaping Tajik communities and one of the anti-Taliban opposition groups https://t.co/U84MsqeeSv

A Hazara woman from Afghanistan, Zakia Khodadadi, won a bronze medal —the first refugee-team medal in history.
This medal could have been the first medal (won by a woman) for Afghanistan... if we still had a country.💔

@sharghzadeh Sure it’s difficult for every community to have an architecturally beautiful place of worship but it’s not necessarily ‘Western Islam’ (whatever that means) that is to blame. It’s permission from local council, fundraising etc 2/2

@sharghzadeh This is such a classist/ableist post to be engaging with in the first place. As if aesthetic masajid don’t exist in Europe (Cambridge Central Mosque, Zentralmoschee Köln). 1/2

This move aligns disturbingly well with the Taliban's oppressive fatwas restricting women and girls' right to education in the first place. ⁦@FCDOGovUK⁩ ⁦@DavidLammy⁩ shameful https://t.co/1qHo0dQWlW

Hi I am a South Asian student at the @UniofOxford and we have not even received ONE email to warn us about the race riots that are attacking persons of colour. Some international students still have no clue about the situation and are out alone by the city and at risk.
