Crafting Afghan Dreams, Arts, Dance & Dialogue

Event Description

Ondru is excited to bring you "Crafting Afghan Dreams: Art, Dance, and Dialogue", a fundraising event as part of the Human Thesis: Afghan Stories art project. The event offers interactive sessions, including a beading workshop, hands-on painting experience, an Afghan dance class, and a panel discussion, concluding with a Afghan-themed dinner, providing a deep dive into Afghan culture.

More than a series of activities, this event is a collective artistic expression.
