Job Description

Opportunities Description:

In the midst of the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan, countless artists and cultural workers find themselves in grave danger, facing threats to their freedom and lives. These individuals have played a vital role in preserving and promoting Afghanistan’s rich cultural heritage, and now they need our support more than ever.

Why Afghan Artists Need Our Help:

Afghanistan has a long and vibrant history of artistic expression, ranging from music, literature, visual arts, to theater.
