Tapestry | Mobeen Ansari | TEDxKinnaird

Mobeen Ansari aims to bring many styles, cultures, and communities together through his paintings and photographs. He talks about how he wants to uplift the positive image of his country on the global map.
Mobeen is a photojournalist, painter and sculptor based in Islamabad, Pakistan. A graduate of National College of Arts in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, his mission is to promote a positive and often unseen side of his country through his photographs. Challenged with loss of hearing at a very early age, Mobeen has always been observant of his surroundings and translates those visually through different mediums.
In 2014 he published a photography book called ‘Dharkan: the Heartbeat of a Nation’ which features portraits and stories of iconic people and unsung heroes of Pakistan. Mobeen has also made a film ‘Hellhole’ which is a short silent film based on the life of conservancy workers, better known as gutter cleaners and it has won ‘Best Short Film (non-fictional) award at Pakistan Calling film festival.
