The Greenness of a Mosque

Orna Kazimi
My current project consists of a series of 2D animations which focus on the lack of social mobility among the Afghan community in Iran who originally fled the conflict in Afghanistan about four decades ago. A new Afghan generation of children and grandchildren was born into a similar if not worse socio-political climate than their parents and grandparents faced in Iran due to racism, despite being born in Iran. The Greenness of a Mosque depicts the Afghan mothers whose children decided to go to the war in Syria on a promise that their families would receive money and the right to remain in Iran. The story is driven from my lived experiences in Iran.
