Mifrah Malik

Depiction of fictitious yet existing characters from real societies. It relates to all the women on a personal level. Reveals the existing warts of a seemingly “clean” society hiding under the dark underbelly of politics. The artist too, like all the other women, has been affected by it somewhere, yet she is grateful and honoured to be among the more fortunate ones to have gotten the chance to voice her thoughts in the shape of her final mural, Naked Voices . She is very much inspired by the American-Pakistani Artist Shazia Sikander who did mural work with traditional depictions. While the artist finds the painting positive and uplifting as it depicts many kinds of women in one space.
