Summary: Making Waves is a seminal work that documents and analyzes the dynamic transformation of Pakistan’s contemporary art scene from the early 2000s onward. Written by art critic and visual artist Salwat Ali, the book compiles a decade of critical essays, reviews, and observations, offering a panoramic view of how Pakistani artists are navigating and shaping modern artistic expressions. Ali examines how younger generations of artists—many trained both locally and internationally—are pushing boundaries through mixed media, new media, installation, video art, and reimagined miniature painting. The book doesn’t just highlight aesthetic developments but also contextualizes them within the socio-political, religious, and cultural challenges faced by artists in Pakistan.
