Maliha speaking with a man

If you would have told her back then she’d be where she is now, Maliha Zulfacar, PhD, DAAP ’72, wouldn’t have believed it. From being the first Afghan woman permitted to study alone in the U.S. to later having to flee her homeland as a young mother when the Soviets attacked in the 1970s, Zulfacar has spent decades taking life’s imperfections and making it to the other side. A celebrated author, documentarian and sociologist, Zulfacar wants to give us an intimate look at being comfortable with change and instability based on her own experiences. Moderated by Distinguished Research Professor of Art at DAAP, Flávia Bastos, PhD, help celebrate Women’s History Month with a story you won’t forget.
