Shamsia Hassani (Dari:شمسیه حسنی; née Ommolbanin Hassani; born 9 April 1988 in Iran to refugee Afghan parents) is an Afghan street artist, a fine arts lecturer, and the associate professor of Drawing and Anatomy Drawing at the Kabul University.

[5] Hassani was born in 1988 and spent her childhood in Iran; her parents had temporarily immigrated there, from Kandahar, Afghanistan during the war.

One of her works is on the walls of Kabul's Cultural Centre, and features a burqa clad woman seated below a stairway.

"[7] In an interview, Hassani explained, "I believe there are many who forget all the tragedy women face in Afghanistan; that is why I use my paintings as a means to remind the people.

"[12] Hassani is also involved in presenting this art work in a digital format through her project titled "Dreaming Graffiti."

This presentation is made in a series in which she paints or "photoshops colors and images onto digital photographs to explore issues of national and personal security".
