Informationen / Biografie über Maria Hosein-Habibi

As many Afghhans, my family left Afghanistan, the country where I was born, and moved to Germany due to the war. Here, I´ve spent most of my life. I studied English, arts and political science at University and completed my higher education with the master´s degree. Apart from teaching at a high school, I am pursuing a doctoral degree.

Art has always been very important in my life and helped me to express myself throughout any phase of life. It enables me to talk without words. I think art is an undervalued documentation of time, culture and traditions.
I grew up within two very different cultures, two worlds, in different countries and with different languages. Therefore, my works of art often deal with my own identity. With the situation in my home country, my people, the war, the victims and losses of war, social structures and anything that bothers me.
I´ve created this page as to share my works, ideas and thoughts.
