Artist Kabir Mokamel (ArtLords) createed a Mural for the Memento Festival at Ioakimion Girls High School. The motive was developed in cooperation with artists in different countries on the Kite Runner Platform since August.

Together with co-founder Kabir Mokamel and a group of others, they received permission from the government to paint the gray concrete structures with eye-catching images to make them disappear while conveying important political messages to drive social change.

As Afghanistan’s first organization to start mural painting in Kabul, we have transformed the city’s landscape, turning somber blast walls into vibrant expressions of community voice and resilience. From our initial projects addressing social issues, ArtLords has grown into a global movement, reaching all 34 provinces of Afghanistan and beyond. Our murals, often a reflection of the collective Afghan experience, have become symbols of the country’s unyielding spirit and desire for a harmonious future. We’ve marked significant milestones along the way – from our award-winning ‘I See You’ anti-corruption campaign to our international exhibitions and peace-building initiatives.
