Question/Message:

This weekend I will be teaching a couple of workshops on Urdu Calligraphy at the Pulitzer Museum, St. Louis. Some of you have followed my work and I am incredibly thankful for your support. My latest gig at Pulitzer is tied to a larger exhibition that relates to refugees, diaspora, and displacement. 

On a personal note, I was in eighth grade when I left Pakistan for the US. At 14, everything and everyone I knew of my friends, extended family, school, culture, belongings were left behind. It’s a painful experience. Nobody leaves their home to migrate to a foreign land unless things get really ugly. So I try my best to keep it beautiful and positive. The good news is that I retained enough to share Urdu/Arabic calligraphy with family and friends 🙂
