Under the Shade of Jannat — Women of Pakistan

Artwork Description

Under the Shade of Jannat — Women of Pakistan follows Jannat, a girl grappling with patriarchy and tradition, even while living abroad. The narrative unfolds like a tapestry, weaving together her childhood and adulthood against the backdrop of Hazro, exploring societal issues like arranged marriages and the objectification of women. Inspired by feminist literature and experiences of Pakistani women, this piece amplifies silenced voices and prompts reflection on the impact of tradition on individual lives.
