Negina Azimi, is an Afghan visual artist whose journey began on the streets and walls of Kabul as a member of ArtLords, a grassroots collective that used art as a tool for social change and peaceful resistance. Her murals transformed the blast walls of the city into vibrant messages of hope, justice, and healing—challenging extremism and giving voice to the everyday struggles and dreams of Afghan people.
Now living in Vermont, she continues to carry forward that mission through her art. Her contributions to the Unseen Afghanistan exhibit at the United Nations and her ongoing work with the New Vermonters in Brattleboro reflect her deep commitment to storytelling, cultural memory, and community engagement. Through her work, she bridges her past in Afghanistan with her present life in the U.S., using art to connect, to heal, and to honor where she comes from.
