Observations and context
I would propose this activity as a continuation of a previous reading (I love grafiti) in which the artist's work is introduced.
Other contemporary painters and illustrators are: Marjane Satrapi (Iran.1969-), Carmen García Huerta (Madrid.1975-), Sarah Arnett(Brighton. UK), Sarah Beetson (UK).
Other women contemporaries of Shamsia who seek to give voice to women in oppressed environments or where the female voice is silenced are Rachel Corrie (USA. 1979-2003), Susan C. Faludi (USA. 1959-), Mary Fisher (USA. 1948-).
