✨We are delighted (and very excited) to announce ✨We are delighted (and very excited) to announce that Divvy Film Festival 2023 is coming very soon to Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore! Dates and venues to be announced soon.  We are very proud to have received submissions from fantastic filmmakers. Please email us if you have a film you would like to submit.  Presented by Foundation Art Divvy, Divvy Film Festival is an annual festival of independent Pakistani cinema.🇵🇰📽  In an effort to expand Pakistani art, culture and narrative’s global reach, as well as transform local attitudes towards the creative fields, Foundation Art Divvy provides a platform at an institutional level, locally and internationally to the arts and film of Pakistan. In addition to an annual large scale institutional exhibition, its latest venture has been the ✨Divvy Film Festival✨, celebrating independent Pakistani cinema, and that of its diaspora. 🍿  We believe it is imperative to support independent film and filmmakers locally, and do so in a strong, consistent manner.

For this week’s Art Divvy Conversation we are de For this week’s Art Divvy Conversation we are delighted to be speaking with Misha Japanwala on @artdivvy’s instagram-live on Thursday 6 October 2022 at 9:30 PM PKT / 5:30 PM UK / 12:30 PM EST Please join us! https://www.instagram.com/artdivvy/  Misha is a Pakistani artist and fashion designer whose work celebrates women's bodies.  Her body casts, worn as sculptural garments, blur the lines between fashion and fine art, clothing and nudity, freedom and censorship. Misha's work attempts to reclaim the way women's bodies have historically been depicted and spoken about, in an effort to reject the internalization of shame and the way it is used to keep us in our place.  We are looking forward to chatting to Misha about her proudest moment, her forthcoming exhibitions, and her take on being shameless!  All images are courtesy Misha Japanwala

She was recently on the Forbes Under 30 List.  Her work continues to be an explorative and radical celebration of women, their agency, their bodies, and redefines what it means to be shameless.  @mishajapanwala @zahrafkhan #artdivvyconversations #fashionmeetsart #artfrompakistan #sculpture #bodycasts
