Out of a country which is better known for being a hotbed for religious extremism than contemporary art, emerges 5 artists: Aasiph Ahmed, Abdul Jabbar Gull, Adeel uz Zafar, Syed Faraz Ali and Usman Ghouri. They are part of a new wave of Pakistani artists who think critically about their country’s political and social history while embracing a range of traditional and modern techniques, from miniature painting to digital printing. They are all alumni of the two most prestigious art schools in Pakistan, the National College of Arts, Lahore and Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture, Karachi.
