In a unique artistic exchange, printmakers Sarah Hopkins (Wales) and Muhammad Atif Khan (Pakistan) have created a stunning collection of 16 limited edition diptych prints. Working independently yet simultaneously, they drew upon their respective cultural heritages to craft a distinctive visual vocabulary.
Through a fascinating process of exchange, the artists sent their prints to each other via courier, traveling between Wales and Pakistan. Upon unwrapping the works, they discovered an invitation to respond, sparking a creative transformation. With mastery of printmaking techniques, they reinterpreted the original meanings, yielding unexpected and captivating results.
This innovative project marks the beginning of a broader program, featuring lectures, workshops, and exhibitions in both Pakistan and Wales. A trilingual exhibition catalogue, available in Welsh, English, and Urdu, accompanies the showcase.
Diptych is proudly supported by Wales Arts International and the Arts Council of Wales, celebrating the power of artistic collaboration across cultures and borders.
