AFGHANISTAN TO CAPE COD
On exhibit from May 30 - June 11
Artist Reception: Friday, June 2nd 5-7pm
Fahima Ashori studied painting at the Fine Art Institute in Kabul, Afghanistan. After the fall of Afghanistan, she was brought to Wellfleet in June 2022 with the help of Yo Yo Ma's Silkroad. An oil painter for nearly a decade, she has shown and sold her artwork in Afghanistan and the United States. Last summer, Fahima held her first art show on the Cape at Wellfleet Preservation Hall which SOLD OUT and garnered an unanimously positive response from the community. This summer, she was selected as Wellfleet Preservation Hall's inaugural Artist-at-Risk Fellow. Her mission as an artist is to bring a message of peace and justice into the world and to expose to the current state of Afghanistan and celebrate its rich culture through her art.
