Pakistani Painters

Studio 360

In the MFA program at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, artist Komail Aijazuddin and his friend from Lahore, Salman Toor, have done something they’ve never seen in Pakistan. They use the techniques from Western art to paint Islamic stories and Pakistani subjects. Produced by Hammad Ahmed.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
