Live Art Demonstration And Civic Discussion With Local San Antonio Artist

Join us for an amazing live demonstration of art and impactful discussion as we prepare for the May 3rd Municipal Election. Our event will consist of Horia leading a workshop on painting and a live demonstration of how she does her larger pieces using wheat straw. We will provide painting materials, however you are free to bring any additional materials (e.g. canvas, easel, etc.). About the Artist: Born under the Afghan sky, Hori’s love for art began early, influenced by the beauty of nature and the cultural richness around her. In 2021, her family fled Afghanistan due to her husband’s work with the US Army, finding refuge in San Antonio. Despite the upheaval, Hori remained resilient. With her children settling into their new home, she embraced her artistic calling once more. Returning to her passion for NaghashiKhat calligraphy and Miniature painting, she found solace and purpose in creating intricate works of art that reflected her journey and hopes for the future. As she delicately merged the ancient art forms of calligraphy and Miniature painting with the rustic charm of wheat straw, Hori’s work became a testament to the power of art to transcend borders and bridge worlds. Through her creations, she sought to share not only her own story but also the stories of countless others who, like her, had found strength and solace in the transformative power of creativity.
