One of the programmes that Armanshahr organised in the Human Rights Week was a Painting and Miniature Exhibition of the works of Marzia Nazari with the title of “Dance and Paint.”

Before the opening of the exhibition, Marzia Nazari said: “I am stating my heart-felt views in my paintings and miniatures through Armanshahr. These images show the conditions in Afghanistan: People in colour clothes, but with depressed and dark spirit. I conclude by wishing that we may never have days like those of Farkhonda and Rakhshana.”
