Overview

Marefat high school morning assembly: the girls shift with a few boys, and faculty entering the school courtyard at 5:30 am, gathering, lining up while Sufi songs play in the background, then singing their school song, “the heat that has no love, pain, or generosity is not a heart” being one of the lyrics (this line of the song was used for the overall installation project title), then walking up the stairs to their classes. At Laisa-e-Maarifat (Marefat School), Dasht-e-Barchi, Kabul, Afghanistan. Video segment of "The Heart That Has No Love/Pain/Generosity is Not a Heart" art installation.
