Cuban artist Alejandra Glez is donating proceeds from the sale of her new NFT work 'Burka' to Nilofar Ayoubi, a women rights activist and a mother to three children, who escaped the Taliban regime and is currently living in a refugee camp in Poland.

Snark.art will forgo our commission on the sale to support this initiative and these two strong talented women.

Join the effort and consider adding 'Burka' to your NFT collection.

'Burka' expresses Alejandra's compassion to the Afghani women whose voiceless lives have been cripled by the Taliban's takeover of the country.

Impressed by Nilofar's bravery and strength, Alejandra Glez decided to donate the proceeds from the sale of the first edition and portion from the sale of editions 2 and 3 to Nilofar and her children.

An addition of 'Burka' NFT to your collection will help Nilofar and her children to start a new chapter in their lives.

Nilofar Ayoubi is one of the thousands of women who have built thriving, prosperous lives for themselves in Afghanistan over the past two decades, but with the fall of Kabul, their success and outspokenness have come to haunt them. Nilofar Ayoubi fled Afghanistan with her three children to find a new home in a Polish refugee home.

She was moved by Alejandra’s video which she discovered on Instagram and contacted her to express her gratitude on behalf of the Islamic women. As an activist, she was blacklisted by the Taliban, but continued to publicly speak out for women’s rights. Before Nilofar Ayoubi fled Afghanistan, she smuggled a group of women to safety in Kabul.

Alejandra Glez (Havana, 1996) lives and works in Havana. Her training as an artist-photographer includes Photography studies in collaboration with National Geographic in Havana, Cuba (2016) and the Havana's School of Creative Photography Diploma (2016 — 2014).

The work of Alejandra Glez addresses specific personal and social issues. She peruses her experience with traumas such as panic attacks and sexual assault to build unique and stirring visual artwork. Moreover, she aims at exploring the feminine identity while delving into some of the most fundamental approaches to feminist theory.

Throughout her short but intensive career, she has participated in many solo and group shows, including the Biennial of Women and accumulated numerous awards such as the Special Prize in the Arte Laguna Prize, Giardini dell'Arsenale, Venice, Italy (2020); and the IV ENAIRE Foundation Young Photography Award, which this year's will be part of PhotoEspaña (2021).
