 the first female graffiti artist from Afghanistan. Her work is currently sh
 own in the <a href="http://moa.ubc.ca/portfolio_page/traces-of-words/"><em>
 Traces of Words: Art and Calligraphy from Asia</em></a> at the Museum of An
 thropology at UBC (on until October 9\, 2017).</p><p>Through her art\, Sham
 sia aims to colour over the sad memories of wars and to bring positive chan
 ges to society. Her work often depicts women in burqas\, and fish. When she
  cannot work on the street\, she creates a “dreaming graffiti” by painting 
 on photographic images of her city. She has held solo and group exhibitions
  both internationally and in Afghanistan and was selected as one of the top
  ten artists for the second Afghan Contemporary Art Prize in 2009. She teac
 hes at the Faculty of Fine Arts\, Kabul University\, and is one of the foun
 ders of the Berang Arts organization.</p><p><a href="http://www.shamsiahass
