Design and cover illustration for the Mil Ke Chai Art Paper. All Urdu text was scanned from a single page from a handwritten lithrograph on the Sufi Saint Bulleh Shah. The publication is accompanied by a playlist I curated on the ways Bulleh Shah remains relevant in popular culture.

Building on the ethos of the cafe, Mil Ke Chai’s Art Paper aims to create a meeting point for the issues and ideas which artists from South Asia feel are important today. As a group, we nominated and commissioned 14 people whose work we admired to create new artworks in any format or medium that could feature in a newspaper. We believe in the power of radical publishing and the solidarity it can nurture, whilst we are not able to include a great number of artists, we hope the Art Paper will encourage others to work together and make their own.
