Art - Gender - Geometric Afghan - Peace X Peace Art Initiative

Geometric Afghan

by Mariam Lodin

Geometric Afghan gender art piece is in the style called geometric planialism; inspired by stained glass windows, mosaics, and graffiti. I saw a photo in a National Geographic of a woman in a burkha and recreated it in a style that represented the west. It was a merge of two worlds where each was distinct and yet strikingly separate.

The pull of art is like the pull of peace ... universal. That's why Peace X Peace is launching a new initiative, Peace Art. Please email your submissions, along with your picture and brief bio, to Mariam Lodin at mariam@peacexpeace.org.

Each month, Peace X Peace will feature an artist's work at Act Now! , with a link to the entire month's submissions.

Submissions must be in keeping with Peace X Peace's Circle Principles. Each submission will include a picture and short bio sketch of the artist, as well as any links to where the art is available. All media are welcome ... your Peace Art may include the visual, audio, and performance arts.
