Truckistan

January 15, 2020

Commanding attention with vibrant portraits of flowers, religious art and snow-capped Himalayan peaks, Pakistani truck owners have taken moving art to a new level. These mobile murals are often about local pride, and picking the right color or animal portrait can be tougher than the countless hours these drivers spend on the road. What’s more, truck art has become one of Pakistan's best-known cultural exports, and with Pakistan's economy picking up speed and new roads opening up trade routes beyond its borders, truck art is sure to find new admirers abroad.
