Join artist Zareena Bano for a colourful workshop celebrating vibrant South Asian truck art!

Truck art is a unique and intricate form of expression that transforms everyday vehicles into moving masterpieces, showcasing bold colours, elaborate patterns, and cultural symbols.

In this hands-on workshop, you can create your own mini truck art plaque to decorate and take away. Zareena will also share with you the history, cultural significance, and design techniques of this rich artistic tradition.
