Artists paint walls with truck art in Sindh

Author: Sanjay Mathrani

Artists Iqbal Sanam and Mashal Hussain are painting historical places of Sindh with truck art. In South Asia, trucks are covered and decorated in paintings, poetry, bells, chains and beads. Cultural anthropologists believe that truck art is folk art that explores dreams and fantasies.

Ustad Mujhaid Khan, a truck driver, said his truck is the only ray of hope in his life. The design and painting he choose for his truck depict his feelings.
