Q&A Gallerie’s 23rd issue, “Understanding Afghanistan” a valuable collective, brings you features and stories of a country beyond the north-west frontier province. A country that has become synonymous with the Taliban.

 

But little is known about its contemporary culture.

This issue addresses the socio-political and cultural contexts of Afghanistan while celebrating its contemporary art,

music, theatre, photography, cinema, poetry; the Afghan people and their lives.

This year's event wasn't as nearly as successful as the one held New York City in 2007 where Brianne managed to raise about 60K.This year it was only 8K. Even Forrest Sawyer could't do much. Maybe it's the state of the economy. One thing is almost certain - we may not want to participate in year three, for which some checks have been promised.

So funny, I took my parents to Ellis Island the same day.
