Bearing Witness to: The Voices of Afghanistan – The Art of Music
September 18, 2021 @ 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm BMT
About the Event
With the new administration by the Taliban in Afghanistan, will there be any future for music and art in Afghanistan?
The Bearing Witness series from the Rotary Peace Fellowship Alumni Association’s Asia & Oceania group humanises issues through first hand stories.
In collaboration with Rotary Fellowship for Global Development, Rotary Action Group for Refugees, Forced Displacement and Migration, and Christian Action Hong Kong, join us and hear from youth and music professionals who have been serving in Afghanistan about their experiences, opinions and expectation.
Can music play a peacebuilding role in Afghanistan? Will there be any future for talented female musicians under the new administration?

Hi im rtn muhammad siddique sandhu assistant governer district 3272 pakistan
Program to provide instruments to displaced and relocated Afghanis.
I am very concerned for the plight of those peacebuilders in Afghanistan who wish to leave – many of whom we already know about, but have not been able to depart. What is being done internationally to assist them?
Thank you Tony. Yes. Some of us is working to try getting sponsor letters for our RPF in Afghanistan. On the other hand, we do have RPFs who have decided to stay so they may work through the changes. Thank you.
