Shamsia Hassani is one of the first female graffiti artists in Afghanistan. A lot of her artworks discuss the position of women. Here, she tells the story of people who had to pack for a sudden evacuation, as war and instability took home and peace away from them.

“We just packed everything that came with a memory. How can you fit your entire life into one bag? This suitcase is what we took to exile and what we will carry around for the rest of our lives.” / Shamsia Hassani
