January–May 2024, Linden-Museum Stuttgart 

Select works by Abdul Ghafur Brechna were  featured in the special exhibition Stuttgart – Afghanistan at the Linden Museum Stuttgart, which explored the historical and cultural connections between Afghanistan and Germany. 

This exhibition offered a broad public audience fresh insights into Afghanistan’s modern history and emphasized the richness of its cultural heritage. As one of the most prominent Afghan artists of the 20th century, Brechna’s works were recontextualized within both Afghan and European art historical narratives. 

The Breshna Foundation for Culture was honored to contribute to this project, which not only deepened historical understanding but also opened new perspectives on Afghan art history -a legacy that continues to resonate nearly a century after Brechna’s studies in Germany.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the Linden Museum Stuttgart -especially Dr. Annette Krämer- and to all collaborators for the successful partnership.
