Through her artworks, Shamsia portrays Afghan women in a male dominant society. Her art gives Afghan women a different face, a face with power, ambitions, and willingness to achieve goals. The woman character used in her artworks portrays a human being who is proud, loud, and can bring positive changes to people’s lives. During the last decade of post-war era in Afghanistan, Shamsia’s works have brought in a huge wave of colour and appreciation to all the women in the country. Her artworks have inspired thousands of women around the world and has given a new hope to female Afghan artists in the country. She has motivated hundreds of Afghans to bring in their creativity through her graffiti festival, art classes, and exhibitions in different countries around the world. During the past five weeks, Hassani has been painting in new-found freedom, in a quiet Westwood apartment where she feels safe. The experience has been liberating, she said. She finished a large mural in the West Adams neighborhood in January, and her new paintings on canvases are on view at Seyhoun Gallery on Melrose Avenue. The gallery works, like her murals, are colourful, seemingly light-hearted depictions of women in Afghan clothing, with a guitar or keyboard, surrounded by text in her native Dari language. They all share a childlike, if melancholic, edge. “I call my latest body of work ‘Birds of No Nation,’ ” Hassani said over afternoon tea in Westwood. “People in my country are all the time traveling somewhere to stay safe and find a peaceful life. And we are missing a lot of our friends and family who have left the country. Usually, birds are traveling all the time; they have no nation. And I thought maybe also we have no nation because everybody has moved to different countries. It doesn’t matter what country that is; the thing that’s important is just feeling safe, staying alive. Art — I can tell that story.” 1. True or false? a. Hassani paints murals about the different women found in a sexist society. b. You can only find her artwork in museums or galleries. c.
