Painting Pakistan in French Week

Gone are the days when in every city, town and village of Sindh, wind catchers were erected high on the rooftops of houses, funneling the cool breeze into homes. The olden concept has been replaced by technology, electricity and air conditioners, however, the concept has not yet been forgotten.
Viewers, especially women, were highly impressed by the art on display. Who wouldn’t be when the Pakistani artists beautifully painted the sensitivities of their nations culture, its history, the folk stories it tells, the traditions it boasts, and the religions it follows. The work of 25 Pakistani artists was displayed in an art exhibition at the French Consulate General, which was a part of the French Week being held in Karachi.
