Making our way inside!

Team Paperazzi went over to check out a small, cozy eatery in town called BabaMoo. With wholesome options such as the Crab Cigars under the ‘Comfortizers’ section of their menu, and mains including the Mac & Cheese and Jacket Potatoes, BabaMoo has definitely set the bar high. The desserts were unique in their own right. A definite must try!

Qinza Najm is a NYC based Pakistani American multi-disciplinary artist.

Originally trained as a painter, she now enlists a broad range of mediums in her creative practice. She is primarily motivated by a compulsion to speak for the voiceless by any means necessary through many different mediums.

ABOUT ME

BEHIND

THE ARTIST

W

What themes are you working on currently?

Well, I’m focusing on investigating desire, gender, violence, the male gaze and empowerment and how that affects the conversations that are happening. I’m more interested in how, sometimes, the bad practices become the norms of the society. Whether it’s the beating of women and saying that’s not a big deal.

In many cultures, and to a certain extent, in American culture, what happens within a relationship is viewed as nobody else’s

business. Even if what is happening is very violent and destructive. These are the conversations that I want to provoke so that people will do something about it in their own way, whether it’s big or small.

You are a painter but you use all these other mediums. What has that journey been like?

It’s been a very exciting and challenging journey. By nature, I am very experimental in my work. I enjoy taking risks and failing, sometimes failing miserably. I love failure

because that’s where the new stuff comes out of. You create questions and try to get some new things from that questioning…

Where does that questioning come from?

The questions come from my anger. The questions comes from me thinking, “Are we still in the cave ages in certain ways?”

Why? I think my questions come out of my pain, my anger, and my frustration. Then I write and the idea dictates what the medium is going to be. I’m totally reacting to

"what inspires me are those people, who have found the strength to reverse the affect and have worked through their fears to change negative narratives into positive ones. The innate ability, we human beings hold to stretch, expand, endure, transform lives through resilience is something that puts my practice into perspective."

my current environment. I’m reacting to what I’m living in and I feel this urgency to say something.

What inspires you?

Humanity, its struggles, failures and triumphs. The world today despite having reached the brink of advancement and liberation is still in a fix and undergoing oppression in multiple ways. That being said, what inspires me are those people, who have found the strength to reverse the affect and have worked through their fears to change negative narratives into positive ones. The innate ability, we human beings hold to stretch, expand, endure, transform lives through resilience is something that puts my practice into perspective.

You have a PhD in Psychology, when did you realize its art you want to pursue?

It has always been my inclination to have an impact on society in a positive manner, which is what I achieved during my time as a Psychologist. However, I feel that practicing art has provided me with a broader platform to initiate self-reflection and ask difficult questions that I believe leads to growth and empowerment without it only being for a particular strata. I have always carried art with me.

Describe your work in five words?

Experimental, relevant, thought provoking, inspirational and multidimensional!

In your opinion what art works have you initiated that both western and eastern cultures can relate to?

Sometime around last year, I worked on a piece that was called No Honor in Honor Killing, which aimed to strike dialogue regarding Pakistan’s culture of honor killings. This year I revived that project, renaming it as No Honor in Killing, which was focused towards the school shootings in USA. The project dealt with me collecting over 11,000 bullet casings all around New York. It also contained photographs of victims of gun violence. I believe it was one of my more impactful works that is prevalent to both cultures, as gun violence is something that has spanned out geographically.

Do you consider yourself a Feminist?

I do not appreciate being put in any kind of a box. This word gets a bad reputation and generally perceived as female chauvinism. The term feminism has been taken in a vastly different connotation than what it’s supposed to be understood as. For me it’s another word for equality. Rather than one gender being in opposition to the other, its more along the lines of both genders having the ability to avail equal opportunity, respect, security, breaking stereotypes that prove to cause hindrances in the lives of both sexes.

What does your art practice aim to emphasize?

I strongly feel that art has the ability to enable the masses to shift paradigms at a sub-conscious level. I take it as my responsibility to provoke a line of questioning and self-reflection. Norms that have become so ingrained in our psyche that we accept them without knowing their impact or origin. I explored the saying “Sweep it under the rug,” because at times it is better to keep the dirt under the rug. But, at other times the dirt needs to be swept out. I express this by using hand woven and machine made carpets as my canvas. The paintings of women on the carpet repre-

sent those who have been walked on as if they were a rug.

By painting on the rugs and putting the rugs on the walls and attaching them to the ceiling I am, in my imagination, raising the status of these women and giving them figuratively and literally a different place in society and culture. The aim is to liberate human potential in myself and hopefully in others.

Your exhibition takes place on the 15th of November, 2018 in Karachi at Chawkandi Gallery. What kind of art should we expect?

The exhibition will have multiple mediums tackling the issues of desire, gender, violence and em (powerment). I questions these notions through paintings, hand-made and machine woven Persian rugs, videos as well as live art performance.

This is the first time you’re showcasing your artwork in Pakistan. What kind of feedback are you expecting your exhibition to gather?

As an artist, it is my hope for my art to hold a significant enough impact to not only spark meaningful dialogue but also enable the people to work against indoctrinated mindsets. I hope to move and more importantly strengthen my audience through my art work by having them question their own personal strength through their internal and external violence that we all have as human beings.

The transition from a solid color to the printed embellished floral flare is what caught my eye in this outfit. It gave a great cocktail dress feel, whilst still being comfortable to wear.

I didn’t want to accessories too much, so just went with a simple bracelet. The pink pumps added to the glamour of the outfit.

This outfit is basically pastel heaven! It’s so flowy and elegant, ideal for brunches and garden parties. Because I’m still not over chokers, the choker neck and sleeves were a super chic addition.

This is a red carpet head turner for sure! From the colour to the flares and the sleek belt, I didn’t feel the need to accessorise and just went with really cute royal blue pointy shoes, for contrast.

This was definitely one of my favourites, I love the concept of colour blocking jackets. This outfit is elegant and timeless, you can dress it up or down for any occasion. I went with the minimalistic approach, and stuck to my pink pumps and a tiny bracelet.

In conversation with An Trinh Khan, a transplant from California to Lahore. Coming from a medical background with a strong interest in the cosmetics field, She decided to pursue her passion of lash extensions to further popularize this beauty trend in Pakistan.

DO LASHES

WHAT'S YOUR

SUPERPOWER? IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Considering you were an RN in USA specializing in acute rehab with spinal patients before moving to the Lahore. What made you decide to become a lash artist?

I loved my profession in the states, but when I moved to Pakistan I knew that the nursing practice here would be very different. So while I take some time to figure out the path for my practice, I delved into my obsession over lash extensions and decided to become a certified lash artist.

What courses can one take to become a certified lash artist?

In the states, you’re required to be licensed in cosmetology, aesthetician, or have a medical license since you’ll be working on a sensitive area of the body. Once you’re licensed, you can take a course from a certified lash extensions instructor.

Do eyelash extensions make one’s own lashes fall out?

No! When applied correctly on the client’s eyelashes by a competent lash artist, the integrity of the natural lashes will be maintained.

How long do they typically last?

3-4 weeks before you need a refill.

After that period your lashes will start looking sparse and I would suggest getting them removed professionally until you decide to get another set.

What are fills and why does one need them?

Your lashes go through a life cycle and you typically shed 3-5 lashes a day. So by the 3rd week, the old lashes fall off and new ones have replaced it. Fills are adding more extensions on the ones that

have grown to a healthy length to support the extra weight.

What are the best care and maintenance routines for extensions?

Make sure that you keep your eyelashes and lash line clean. That means a good nightly cleansing routine AND brushing them whenever you can.

What is your favourite part of being a lash artist?

Seeing the ecstatic expressions when my clients open their eyes and sees their lash makeover!

What are some of the challenges you have faced as a lash artist in Pakistan?

With this being relatively new here in Pakistan compared to the US and elsewhere in the world and the misconception that eyelash extensions will ruin your own lashes have made many people nervous to give this a try.

What advice would you give to someone who wants to become a successful lash artist?

Your journey doesn’t end on getting your lash extensions certification. The lash industry is huge and ever changing so continued education is necessary to be updated on the advances being made.

What are your future plans for the growth of your brand?

Right now it’s all things lash related.

International companies have reached out to me to open a market for them in Pakistan and it would be amazing to bring reputable supplies into the lash market here. For the time being I’m just doing my part to bring popularity to beauty trend seen around the world!
