Initially encouraged by my son Alex Strick van Linschoten‘s activities as a researcher and a writer in Kandahar, Afghanistan and of course also by my Afghan friends, I have decided to dedicate the entire year (2010) to a new series of paintings: the “Afghanistan-series”. With it I hope the soul and the beauty of the Afghan people and their country as a stark contrast to all negative news we get bombarded with via the various media. It is mu intention to organize a special fundraising exhibition to raise funds for a particular nice educational project in Afghanistan, worked out and organised By my dear Afghan friend and supporter Orzala Ashraf Nemat.
For more information and latest updates about the project see the website of Christian Wenk, the main benefactor of this project > “School Project Utran Kili”
In a short video-segment Christian Wenk talks about how he supports the project.
Dates and information about further school support projects will be provided when available.
