A Thousand Voices, A Thousand Acts, A Thousand Splendid Suns | 29 November 2025 | Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Canberra

We were honoured to be invited by the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in Canberra to participate in the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.

This significant gathering, inspired by Khaled Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns, highlighted the resilience of Afghan women through art, storytelling, and cultural expression.

As part of this meaningful occasion, Hoori Handmade exhibited embroidered artworks alongside other handcrafted pieces created by Afghan women in Afghanistan. These works reflect their lived experiences, creativity, and aspirations for a hopeful future.

We are deeply grateful to the Embassy for including us in this important initiative and for providing a platform to honour the voices and strength of Afghan women.
