Breaking the glass ceiling by Niilofur Farruk
THE glass ceiling in the corporate world that deprives women of top jobs exists in all fields but in the visual arts it was challenged in Pakistan soon after 1947. In this field where a high premium is put on creativity, nepotism can have no feet. Only a passion to develop talent and a vision to sustain it brings triumph.
Two very important women artists who were instrumental in shaping the blueprint of Pakistan’s art world were Zubeida Agha and Anna Molka Ahmed. Zubeida Agha, with her 1949 show just two years after independence, boldly brought modern art experiments into the public space. The fact that she was lambasted by the art critics of the day did not in any way deter her and she went on to study art in the UK and then returned to become a potent force.

Apparently, Shahid Masood is some where in the U.S, pursuing some degree in internationa politics. All other hosts are back. I dont think he'd stay away long either.
