About this Event
Join visual artist Zareena Bano for a vibrant Truck Art workshop celebrating the vibrant culture of Pakistan and South Asia through the lens of its iconic truck art!
Truck art is a unique and intricate form of expression that transforms everyday vehicles into moving masterpieces, showcasing bold colours, elaborate patterns, and cultural symbols.
In this hands-on session, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in this rich artistic tradition by learning about its history, cultural significance, and design techniques and create your own mini truck art-inspired pieces.
This session promises fun, creativity, and cultural discovery.
The workshop is suitable for all ages. No experience necessary.
Please bring clothes which you don’t mind getting paint on and that are suitable for going outside.
Sessions are scheduled to last one hour, but you can stay longer if they wish.
