Mahwash Rehman, a celebrated photographer and author, is known for her insightful works, including her book Women in Green and Beyond. Her photography captures the essence of her subjects, bringing their stories to life in vivid detail. Her visit to Gogi Studios was a delightful fusion of art, storytelling, and meaningful conversation.

During her visit, Mahwash had the opportunity to delve into the creative world of Nigar Nazar, the pioneering cartoonist behind Gogi Studios. Nigar’s work has long been a beacon of empowerment and social commentary, addressing issues such as gender equality, education, and cultural norms through her beloved character, Gogi.

Mahwash’s interest in gender, empowerment, and culture resonates deeply with the ethos of Gogi Studios. Her work as a writer and photographer brings to light the struggles and triumphs of women, much like Nigar’s cartoons do. This alignment of vision made their interaction all the more enriching and inspiring.

In addition to her photography and writing, Mahwash is also known for her podcast, Bachpan Ki Kahaniyan. This podcast has garnered a dedicated following among Pakistani diaspora children, who enjoy listening to stories from their homeland. The podcast’s charm lies in its ability to connect young listeners with their cultural roots, much like Gogi’s adventures do for readers of all ages.

At Gogi Studios, Mahwash captured the essence of the studio and its creator through her lens, adding another layer to the narrative of Gogi and Nigar Nazar. The portraits taken during the session reflect not only the personality of Nigar but also the vibrant and dynamic world of Gogi.

The collaboration between Mahwash and Gogi Studios is a celebration of art, culture, and the power of storytelling. It underscores the importance of preserving and promoting cultural heritage through various forms of media. Both Nigar and Mahwash are dedicated to using their talents to inspire and educate, making a positive impact on society.

We at Gogi Studios are thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with Mahwash Rehman and look forward to more such inspiring collaborations in the future. Her visit has been a testament to the power of art and the shared vision of empowering communities through creative expression.
