Writings
I am currently working on research and development of a new novel, Island. I am also working on
compiling a full manuscript containing a collection of essays that I have been producing over the past fifteen years. When inspired, I create poems and write essays, and am experimenting with the idea of writing children's books.
Multi-Media productions
Living Room Art: Third Worlds: Third Ward/Karachi (vbbarts.org)
In Fall 2011, I worked with artists in Houston as well as in Karachi to create a production that juxtaposed elements of Houston's Third Ward with those from Karachi. To see images from the production, click here and here; to read more about the show, click here. I plan to upload my video collage, Writing from Our Interior, that contains footage from Sehwan Sharif and Neem Tree School of Music (Karachi).
Living Room Art: Women's Voices (vbbarts.org)
In November 2010, I created a site-specific installation, breaking silences / bearing witness / claiming dignity, at VBB's living room art production, Women's Voices. For more information about my installation, click here.
Living Room Art: Art Car Sprawl in the First Ward (vbbarts.org)
In May 2010, I produced VBB's living room art production, Art Car Sprawl in the First Ward, a show that celebrated the power of culture, global connections, history, human labor, and movement. For more information about my installation, click here.
Living Room Art: Honoring Dissent / Descent (vbbarts.org)
In November 2009, I produced the first installment of Voices Breaking Boundaries' multidisciplinary production, Honoring Dissent / Descent (previously called Pakistan Live Broadcast), which I have been researching and developing for some time. Through my sound and image installation, Listening from Within, I honored my father, Dr. Mohammad Sarwar, who passed away in May 2009.
