Art in Defiance: Pakistani Artists Challenge Dictatorship Through Creative Expression

Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • The 11-year dictatorship of General Zia-ul-Haq imposed strict censorship and martial law, significantly influencing Pakistani art.
  • Highlighted in the Manzar exhibition, artworks show the response to oppression, featuring 200 works spanning eight decades.
  • Quddus Mirza's painting, inspired by the hanging of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, symbolizes the struggle against authoritarianism.
  • Curators aim to present diverse artistic perspectives, showcasing pre-1947 works and comparing them with global art movements.
  • This exhibition, on display at the National Museum of Qatar, runs until January 31 and aims to redefine notions of Pakistani identity in art.
