Pakistani trucks and buses are like moving art galleries painted in festive urban art.

Imagine driving on a boring highway for miles but if there's a Pakistani freight truck ahead of you then you are in for a visual treat. The owners take pride in spending fortunes to decorate their trucks like a bride.

Majority of lorries are overly decorated with several paintings, accessories and humorous poetry which bring great amusement to the onlookers. Each truck is like an art gallery on wheels with enchanting designs, landscapes, portraits, verses or slogans to bring a smile on your face.

Join us to appreciate a small collection of Pakistani truck art and create your own wall art with step by step guidance by an experienced artist Rehana Usman from Studio Rags. Take home your creation and a fun memory.

By the end of the class, you will have a stunning artwork worthy of a wall, along with some new artistic skills!
