PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BELOW:
This is a creative project may be in the form of a zine book/booklet/magazine including collages and/or drawings and texts;
I want you to work with themes like identities, Monsterorism, beauty of pashtun culture/ cultural heritage, Pashtun women, reclaiming space for those women, challenging status quo and being a feminst kill-joy.
I would like you to create a zine (images/texts and collage pictures) OR a booklet (small magazine) like a book called “a girl called Gangais Khan” and illustrate the “ BEAUTY OF PASHTUN CULTURE AND BORN AS PASHTUN WOMAN” OR most like “ DEMONS OF PASHTUNISTAN” addressing the beautiful culture itself illustrating the :
Who Are The Pashtun
core principles
history--food--tradition--clothing--dance
social representation
depiction of pashtun women diverting the focus to strict patriarchy, gender roles, and challenging the status quo by depiction of Pashtun women
women-challenge to family honor
abusive cultural practices over women
pashtun woman (imposing gender roles on her i.e she stays home etc)
Why Are Tribal Pashtuns Generalized as Violent?
status of women? women as mothers? education?
Men’s perceptions of women’s status and girls’ education in the context of
Pashtunwali
Swara (exhange of woman for kill/price)
THE FIRST PART SHOULD BE ILLUSTRATION (IMAGES YOU CAN FIND, DRAWINGS, COLLAGES, AND SOME TEXTS}
my mission statement is more likely challenging the status quo as Pashtuns view their women their “honor” and they will do anything to protect their honor. However I want to ask whether a woman should be a person first or someone’s honor" Whose honor is she? Her father, her brother and then her husband?
Inspired by art work of Shehzil Malik (looking at her art work and extracting the ides and themes that resonate my experience of growing up in pashtun culture)
Portraying the theme it gives me a healing tool to speak up. I also want to incorporate Sara Ahmed’s great amount of work on being a Feminist Kill joy) (her aarticle is attached
Also I am very much inspired by Lynda Berry’ way of illustrating the visual observance and catharsis such as her work in (100 demons).
With this zine/magazine/booklet, i am actually displaying the culture, the beauty of the Pashtun culture and then indulging into demons (DEMONS=core patriarchal aspects) that exist for a woman from that culture.
i have attached a great amount of articles to help and you can choose anything on your own as well.. however PLEASE incorporate Shehzil Malik's artwork, Sara Ahmed"s feminist killjoy series and Lynda Berry as reference to my work. Professor wants me to incorporate three artists from class and these are the three i want to use as a help to create my work.
please msg me if anything unclear.
