The Lollywood Billboard Art Project was a workshop that I did with The Citizen's Archive of Pakistan (an innitiative of CAP's Lollywood Project) and the students of the Karachi University. We had Faiz Saab, a Master Painter give us a demonstration of the spontaneous and colourful art of Billboard painting. This workshop was a week long (maybe even less). We had to create a canvas painting of a 'dummy' movie poster in 3 days and then over the weekend we were to collaborate and do a live painting on two billboards at the Porte Grande. Being able to finish the project was a big achievement!
I wish I had better documented the entire thing!
