Amna Hashmi is a visual artist and art educationist, specializing in the art of Miniature Painting. Combining her interest in historical illuminated manuscripts with her love for Japanese manga, her work has revolved around her primary interest of storytelling and the recording of historical events – exploring the boundaries that exist between actual facts and the creation of myths, magical and collective imaginary spaces that are often neglected in our present-day, media-saturated lives.

Her recent works have been shown in ‘From the Scroll to the Book’, He Yuan Peace Garden Museum, Beijing, China (2017) and ‘Ato Nexus’, Embassy of Pakistan, Tokyo, Japan (2016). Hashmi is currently teaching as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Architecture and Design at COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Islamabad.
