Mozhdah Jamalzadah is the most famous female vocalist in Afghanistan and Thursday, after she sang for President Obama at the White House, she visited the Dance and Community Settings class to talk about the power of art and its ability to help women in Afghanistan. She launches her new nationally televised talk show this year from Kabul. The students asked sophisticated questions regarding global politics and the place of art as a transformative medium. She finished her question and answer session by singing to the class in Farsi. She was phenomenal and we look forward to following her show and videos on YouTube and on her website!
