Amid the darkness of war, female Afghan graffiti artist Shamsia Hassani continues to paint her city with bright colours. Most of her work features a female character, someone she describes on her website as “proud, loud, and can bring positive changes to people’s lives”.
Through her art, she strives to portray the strength, ambition and resolution of Afghan women.
