I lived in Kabul for six and a half years. In 2000 I set up an office in Kabul for the preservation of Afghan cultural heritage; from 2001 to 2003 I worked as political affairs officer for the UN and from 2003 to 2006 I set up and directed a foundation for culture and civil society. I was also country director for the Open Society Institute.
I still travel regularly to Kabul for cultural research.

During the opening the 'curator' will be adding items to the maps, hopefully provoking discussion
To increase their (sense of) security, foreign agencies typically build layers of walls right on to the streets, forcing pedestrians (when allowed at all) to walk on the road
