The National College of Arts, in collaboration with the National Commission on the Status of Women (NCSW), organized an art and photography competition and exhibition at the Zahoorul Akhlaq Gallery. Third year students from NCA actively participated, presenting their unique perspectives through painting and photography.

Inaugurated by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Dr. Murtaza Jafri, the competition aimed to provide students with an opportunity to understand contemporary issues faced by women and express their views creatively.

The competition addressed themes such as violence against women, women's political representation, economic empowerment, challenges faced by women with special needs, health and reproductive rights, and the role of women in Pakistan’s digitalization.

Deputy Chief NCSW, Shabana Nawaz; Ayra Indrias, Member NCSW; Rumaisa Khalid Programme Consultant NCSW from UNICEF; emphasized that the exhibition plays a crucial role in highlighting significant issues women face on both social and cultural levels.

The exhibition "Transmuted," highlighting the innovative works of 9th semester architecture students, opened at the National College of Arts on May 27th, 2024. This two-day event explores architectural narratives with a focus on innovation and solutions for contemporary challenges.

In a world grappling with the complexities of built environments, "Transmuted" emerged as a beacon of creativity and forward-thinking. The exhibition, presented through six distinct studios, each with its own unique approach, explored diverse methodologies to redefine contemporary architecture. The works on display provided a glimpse into the future trajectory of architectural processes, aiming to create robust narratives that address pressing issues of expression, habitation, incubation, and ecological well-being.

"We are thrilled to showcase the talent and ingenuity of our 9th-semester architecture students through 'Transmuted'," said Prof. Dr. Faisal Sajjad, Dean of the Faculty of Architecture. The exhibition is on display until 4:30 pm, May 28.
