The spokesman for the Ministry of Information and Culture has announced that the Ministry places significant emphasis on the arts. To date, this commitment has led to the organization of over 12 art exhibitions in Kabul, Bamyan, and Herat, along with the registration of nearly 200 new artworks.
Marking World Art Day, the spokesman Khabib Ghafran stated in a video message to Bakhtar News Agency that the Ministry has carried out various initiatives to promote art. He added that, as a result, the miniature and artistic works of Master Behzad were recently inscribed on UNESCO’s list, and more than 200 students have graduated from the Ministry’s affiliated art training departments.
According to Ghafran, the Ministry has so far held over 12 art exhibitions in Kabul, Bamyan, and Herat, and has entered up to 200 new artworks into its official database.
He affirmed that the Ministry continues to pay close attention to the arts and is striving to enhance national and international recognition of Afghanistan’s unique artistic styles and works.
Art serves as the voice of society, preserving a nation’s history, culture, and civilization. For this reason, UNESCO designated April 15 as World Art Day, a celebration observed annually in many countries around the world.
