On March 3rd, Brian and I traveled to Pakistan for a conference called "Social Intervention 2012: A Better Tomorrow for the Coming Generation". This is a collection of our experiences before, during, and after the trip and a report on the public intervention artworks that follow.

Fabric Heaven




When (from left to right) Anila, Tooba, Mahsina, and Quendeel said that they were going to take us shopping, I could never have imagined this. Rather than going to a mall of "pre-stiched" clothing, they have the option to come here instead, walk the endless rows of fabric stalls, select their fabric, and bring it to a seamstress with a sketch describing how they would like the garment to look. From this moment on, shopping in the United States will always be a disappointing experience.
