About me
I create content on what I'm passionate about; feminism, self care and identity.
Projects
- Re-imagining LichtensteinI've been drawn to pop art for its colourful, comic and sassy appeal. I was inspired by another artist called Hatecopy whose work has been described as a marriage between Roy Lichtenstein's comics and the melodramic world of South Asian soap operas. I wanted to create my own version; geared towards individuals whose lifestyles matched my own. Muslim women, particulalry those who wear headscarves (hijabs). I've enjoyed recreating these classic pop art damsels and twisting them into my own narativ
- Comic/poetry collaboration for TV segmentI was commissioned by What's Up TV to create a comic for Poet, Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan to form a spoken word piece around. The topic was about 'Train Track Anxiety' which was a previous piece I had made in collaboration with instagram.com/yesimhotinthis that focuses on the fears and experiences of Muslim women in public spaces due to the rising rate of Islamophobia. The initial post gained a lot of engagement on Instagram and Twitter. The segment, featuring our work, aired on Sky1, Feb 2019
- Illustrations for matrimonial app's TFL campaignI provided illustrations for a Muslim matrimonial app for their A/W 2018 campaign on the TFL network as well as buses in Manchester and Birmingham. These adverts sparked up a lot of engagement on social media for the use of puns, pop culture reference, and for the details on Adele! (manicured nails, crescent moon replacing Apple logo, makeup on point).
