Resistance: The View from Pakistan

B.K. Bangash, Arif Mahmood and Ayesha Vellani

PAKISTAN

Three Pakistani photographers offer a personal take on the concept of resistance.

B.K. Bangash’s career with Associated Press has led him to trouble spots all over the region. In Afghanistan and in the border regions between Afghanistan and Pakistan, Bangash documents the way the war affects the life of non-combatants.

Religious ritual has always intrigued Arif Mahmood, and his photos for this exhibition take a little known ritual practiced by a sect in Pakistan. Arif explores the nuances of both ordinary life and extraordinary events.

Ayesha Vellani documents a traditional life style in a fast changing environment. In the tenaciousness of the nomads she photographs, Ayesha highlights the will to survive against all odds.
