SYNOPIS

Lida Abdul’s video work 'In Transit' features school children filling a military airplane with cotton, attaching ropes, and attempting to fly the airplane like a kite.

'I want to bring out the beauty of the tragic way in which children face violent scenarios and show how they can be flexible in similar conditions with their innocence, by creating an antidote to the tragedy of their condition. Without children playing and running through the streets of Kabul, Afghanistan today would be even more violent than it is.'
