The Afghan Diva

In this episode, Afghans Empowered sits down with local freelance artist, Deeva Momand, who’s better known as @TheAfghanDiva. This local artist from Southern California captures the attention of a niche audience with her subjects and themes, and for all the right reasons! Her artwork incorporates pop culture, with Afghan culture. Many of her subjects from her digital media collection showcase Afghan femininity and masculinity. Join us as we sit down and talk about her artwork, her inspirations, and reflect upon the representation of Afghans in the world of art. No matter what path Deeva decides to take, she fully embraces her love for art and understands how her work has struck a chord with her followers, who love to see digital media represent a unique identity, within the modern context.
