A few days ago, on the 25th, we went to the launch event for the Afghan Youth Voices Festival 2011. The event was located at the Queen's Palace at Babur Garden. Babur Garden is a historic park in Kabul, and also the location of Babur's tomb. The Queen's Palace was definitely an amazing venue for the event. You could see the hill towering over the palace on one side - and on the other side you had a view overlooking Kabul. The event was a showcase for Kabul's youth to showcase their talents in video, photography, art and music. There was even a rock band, which ended up doing a few System of a Down covers which was pretty dope to hear in Afghanistan. There was also a cool mural for people to paint on as well. It was definitely refreshing to see such a positive event happening - especially being directed towards the youth. Below are some photos I snapped while at the event.
