An exhibition commemorating the experiences of Afghan refugees following their exodus from their homeland will be held at the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) in collaboration with the Ministry of External Affairs (MoFA) in 2021.
From October 6 to December 31, 2022, the “Suffer” exhibition will be free and open to the public at MIA Park for all art lovers to enjoy.
Zafar will examine the history of Afghanistan, the importance of its location at the crossroads of ancient trade routes, its wealth and natural resources, as well as its history as part of the most important and largest empires and the foundation of civilizations since the Bronze Age.
Visitors can experience the history of the country through a collection of videos, images and illustrated stories highlighting the experiences and stories of Afghan refugees.
Sheikha Al Mayassa Bint Hamad Al Thani, Chairperson of the Qatar Museum, said that the story of the Afghan people is the strength to face the severe challenges they faced during the evacuation.
The exhibition highlights Qatar's thirty years of bilateral relations with Afghanistan and its participation in the 2021 evacuation process. The artwork emphasizes Afghanistan's importance as a long-standing center of intellectual discourse and creative excellence.
