Yeh Pyara Parcham

Politics continue to influence artists working across all genres, remaining a major concern for many artists in Pakistan. Yeh Pyara Parcham deals with conflicts, potential and ensuing, that have gripped the region and much of the globe. Translated, Yeh Pyara Parcham means ‘this beloved flag’; what we see is how the artist deftly revisions national emblems in light of current political turmoil and socio-economics of the country, while retaining elements that make each beloved banner so recognizable.

Yeh Pyara Parcham was originally intended to be shown at Art Dubai 2018, however, due to circumstances beyond control, Muhammad Zeeshan’s solo presentation at Art Dubai 2018 had to be changed at the last moment and Yeh Pyara Parcham is now being exhibited in Karachi.
