Exhibition at Völkerkundemuseum (Ethnographic Museum) in St. Gallen, Switzerland, 2001
The Völkerkundemuseum in St. Gallen provided a captivating setting for Brechna's artwork.
The exhibition at the Völkerkundemuseum in St. Gallen was a testament to Brechna's profound connection to the Afghan history, landscape, people, and traditions. Visitors were captivated by a diverse collection of Brechna's paintings, which showcased his unique artistic perspective …”which can be called „Afghan Impressionism”…and deep-rooted cultural inspirations.
The exhibition not only celebrated Brechna's artistic genius but also fostered a deeper understanding and appreciation for Afghan art and culture.

Calendar 2001 and Postcards
Alongside the exhibitions, a Calendar 2001 and Postcards featuring Brechna's paintings and drawings were produced in cooperation with the registered German nonprofit Afghanischer Frauenverein e.V. (Afghan Women’s Association), with the support of Kinderhilfswerk Afghanistan e.V. (nonprofit Children’s Support Network).
The calendar, distributed and sold by interested Afghans in the USA, EU, and Australia, raised funds to support schools in Afghanistan, contributing to the growth and development of education in the country.
