"Shame Shame" Solo Exhibition by Hatecopy (Maria Qamar)
SHAME SHAME
Shame Shame is a visual artist collaboration featuring new works by Maria Qamar (@hatecopy) and Babneet Lakhesar (@babbuthepainter). Produced by South Asian bridal brand CTC West (@ctcwest), the show explores the shame that first and second generation youth of the South Asian diaspora encounter when they realize that they want to partake in the arts. Whether the dream is to create, critique or simply experience, this demographic is often confronted by a wagging finger, 'shame shame'.
