978-0-19-070143-7 (ISBN)
This book revels in the unexpected and the overlooked, the hidden and the mysterious, the obscure and bizarre. Through these compelling contemporary cartographies, the Subjective Atlas of Pakistan offers a humanized vision of ongoing conflicts pacified through visual poetics of personal stories, fears, hopes, and dreams.
Taqi Shaheen is a film-maker and visual artist based in Pakistan who creates audio visual installations, films, paintings, photographs, and performances. His work crosses mediums and defies genre distinctions to fashion witty and curious observations of contemporary Pakistani culture and its urban landscapes. He has worked and collaborated with many artists, and has been a leading exponent in contemporary audio visual art extensively touring his works. In 2002, he founded DEDACHI, a group of artists, musicians and performers to produce collaborative works in theatre and films. He has also been involved in various theatre productions as a writer and director. In recent years he has designed for the stage, including productions of Fantastic Mr. Fox, James and the Giant Peach for Alliance Françoise, Pakistan. He received a graduate degree in Fine Arts from National College of Arts, Lahore. Annelys de Vet is a Belgium based Dutch designer and initiator, running a practice for gentle power and radical imagination. The work explores the role of design in relation to the public and political discourse. From 2009-19 she headed the master in design 'Think tank for visual strategies' at the Sandberg Instituut Amsterdam — where she earned an MDes herself in 1999. She founded the inclusive design label 'Disarming Design from Palestine' that develops, presents, and sells useful products from Palestine. Since 2003 de Vet initiated a series of subjective atlases that map countries from a human perspective. Previous editions covered Palestine (2007), Mexico (2011), Hungary (2011), etc.
