Due to the Taliban’s resurgence and the withdrawal of U.S. forces in 2021, Afghan news once again dominates the headlines. More and more people associate Afghanistan with the Taliban, terrorism, 9/11, the Islamic State, the “graveyard of empires”; when one speaks of Afghan women, most think of the burqa, which they are likely to confuse with the hijab and robe of Arab women. For a long time, the Third World has experienced unimaginable warfare, physical tragedy, structural collapse, and epistemic violence. Media coverage has made these acts of violence a mainstream impression, and the “Third World” countries have thus lost their true voices and images.

The aim of the book Unseen, Unsaid, Unheard is to provide the reader with a true picture of Afghan women. There're three sections in the book: (1)critique the violence inflicted on Afghan women by western mainstream media, (2)address fundamental issues, (3)advocate the new voice of Afghan contemporary art. Every poster encapsulates a section through collage.
