The exhibition brought together works by around 20 Afghan and non-Afghan artists. Their works, most of which are newly created, revolve around the garden as a microcosm of the whole world. It contains the life of people with the animals and plants, with all miracles, in all its beauty, but without sweeping under the carpet the crises that prevail on earth yesterday and today. Because whether originating from Afghanistan or not, The Other Kabul is a place of the future that can be located all over the world and is therefore open as a level of reflection for all.

This is a guest exhibition mounted by the non-profit association Treibsand, curated by Susann Wintsch and in collaboration with Kunstmuseum Thun.
