The background image of the Summary page is called Sehwan End of Moharram, and dates from 2016. Our publication seeks to honor its author, Pakistani photographer and filmmaker Madiha Aijaz, who passed away early in 2019. Aijaz was a recognized professional in Europe and North America, where her work has been frequently exhibited and awarded, but mostly in her own country, where she was a lecturer and researcher at the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture, in Karachi. To this great woman from the South, our deep admiration.
