Rada Akbar (Pashto: رادا اکبر; born 1988), is an Afghan-born conceptual artist, and photographer.
In 2013, she started working as a freelance photographer and setting up modern art shows in Kabul.
From 2018 to 2021, Akbar organized the "Superwomen" (or "Abarzanan") exhibition, to commemorate International Women's Day, March 8.
[5][6][7] The "Superwomen" project has featured artworks — including exquisitely crafted gowns — gowns that represent poets, mountain climbers, television presenters, royalty, politicians and musicians who rose to prominence within Afghanistan's patriarchal culture.
[9] In September 2021, she was one of the people evacuated by the French government after the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan and before the American military fled.
