Farhat Ali is a contemporary artist from Badin in Sindh. He uses the quintessentially miniature format from the sub-continent. Ali juxtaposes contrasting characters from different narratives onto one plane. The themes addressed are from history, fiction and contemporary pop and are charged with tongue-in-cheek humor. He uses comics to diffuse the inevitable clash of civilizations between a classical 15th-century South Asian era and contemporary Western society. He creates interactive moments between his characters without either losing their cultural identity.
