Pakistan: A 1976 Painting exhibition confronts the religious right
30 June, by siawi3The exhibition opened on May 18 and caused an immediate sensation. There was an instant backlash from religious extremists, who took one look at the paintings and declared them “fuhash” (obscene). The clergy led widespread protests.
