A fine arts student of the Government College University (GCU) Lahore, Sehrish Ahmad, on Friday in her annual thesis display portrayed the transgender in different reputed professional fields i.e. as a lawyer, police officer, teacher, politician, poet, doctor, housemaid and businessman to fight taboos and misconceptions that prevail in our society.
Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr Asghar Zaidi inaugurated the thesis display at the University’s Abdus Salam Hall, where Sehrish Ahmad and 18 other GCU Fine Arts Department final-year students put on display the promotional and awareness campaigns on different social issues as their semester thesis.
“Art has the power to change the world, and it gives me immense pleasure to see that my students have used their artistic skills to raise awareness about real-life issues,” Prof Zaidi said while visiting the project stalls. The Vice-Chancellor discussed with the students the aesthetics and scope of their projects.
