    Graffiti Artist Shamsia Hassani

    By Shamsia Hassani.

During the last decade of post-war era in Afghanistan, Shamsia’s works have brought in a huge wave of color and appreciation to all the women in the country.

    Her artworks have inspired thousands of women around the world and has given a new hope to female Afghan artists in the country.
