The Aga Khan Trust for Culture's work in Afghanistan is aimed at conserving and restoring Afghanistan’s cultural heritage, while stimulating local economic development and improving the quality of life for people living in surrounding neighbourhoods. As Afghanistan recovers from decades of destruction, this retrospective exhibition documents over 120 projects carried out in that country since 2002, that celebrate, restore, and maintain Afghanistan’s cultural presence and identity in the modern world. 

The 27 graphic panels (for the Balkh section of the exhibition) were produced by the Aga Khan Historic Cities Programme office in Kabul.
