Stuttgart - Afghanistan

Far away or very close? The exhibition tells stories and histories of the complex connections between Stuttgart, Germany and Afghanistan. It shows historical objects, pre-Islamic and Islamic works of art as well as everyday significant objects.

It was developed by the Linden Museum together with the Entangled: Stuttgart - Afghanistan working group. Here, people from the Stuttgart region have been participating since 2019, many of them with an international, also Afghanistan-related history, plus partners* from the university and artistic fields. For the exhibition, they have contributed conceptually, in terms of content, and in part very personally with memories and thoughts. Throughout the exhibition, there are always references to the present - even with historical topics.
