The Bahar Collective

Visual art and photography

Gallery

Paintings, drawings, photographs and other visual work, shown only after review and acceptance.

A gallery in the making

This gallery is being built with Afghan artists and photographers, at home and across the diaspora. These are the kinds of work we hope to show:

Each piece appears only after it has been reviewed and its creator has given permission. Artists keep ownership of their work.
