Nazia H Khan from Pakistan had exhibited some amazing metal bodices - click on her name to go to her website and see some of her beautiful work . I was also very inspired by a film 'The Last Rites' a heartbreaking and beautiful film about the Chittagong shipbreaking yards in Bangladesh. Yasmine Kabir is an internationally aclaimed and independent filmmaker based in Bangladesh. You can see some great stills and a synopsis of the film HERE. Part of my interest in this film was because I have visited the country and found it a fascinating place. One of my daughters has lived in Dhaka for the last 3 years and if she stays another year I hope to have the opportunity to go back there!
The exhibition is on until 9 May so if you are anywhere near Leeds do go and see it!

Exhibition visit
I have just been to Leeds Art Gallery and seen a powerful and exciting exhibition 'Between Kismet and Karma - South Asian Women Artists respond to conflict' One of my favorite pieces was 'Elastic Dress' in knitted elastic and red dye by the Columbian artist Anoli Perera

You had me at the picture of that amazing red elastic installation--but I think the metal bodices are even more intriguing. Thanks for pointing out Khan's work
