Selected works by Abdul Ghafur Brechna (1907 – 1974) accompany the themes presented. Brechna was one of Afghanistan’s most important artists. His multifaceted work as a painter, composer, poet and director influenced the development and renewal of art and culture in Afghanistan in the 20th century.
Books, stories, games, music: two special rooms, the “library” and the “tea room”, invite you to linger, reflect and participate. The exhibition is accompanied by an extensive program that highlights and deepens further connections between Stuttgart and Afghanistan.
The exhibition features numerous objects from the Linden Museum’s collection. They are supplemented by exhibits from German and European museums, in particular from collections that came to Europe on the basis of archaeological cooperation with Afghanistan.
In its complexity, the exhibition opens up new perspectives on the closely interwoven relationships between Stuttgart, Germany and Afghanistan.
