Kishtwar lawyer to organise poster exhibition

Kishtwar: A social worker and a professional lawyer Sheikh Nasir Hussain is organizing two days poster exhibition of a rare collection of his works on social and developmental issues from July 22 at Islamia Faridia Educational and Research Institute Kishtwar.
Exhibition will be kept open from 1Pm to 5 Pm for two days. Nasir who is practicing as lawyer in district courts Kishtwar and is an artist also, has his own vision to bring social change.
Son of a National awardee teacher and hailing from a remote area of state, Nasir is a versatile genius in the field of art and culture. He was adjudged as all round best student of Jammu University for consecutive two years (1999-2000).
Besides this he has represented Jammu University in various Zonal and National level competitions and has secured top positions.
with the object of creating awareness among the society especially youth and vision to bring social change, Nasir has decided to organize a poster exhibition in the far flung area of Kishtwar.
He feels that posters have an edge over the other methods and take only a few seconds to attract some one attention. Nasir believes that people retain visual images longer than written words, so, to highlight the apathy of a common man and to educate the people about the fast spreading menace like nepotism by the politicians, drug abuse, AIDS, Child Labour, and Terrorism, poster is the right and appropriate medium.
The young advocate has his own plans of social reforms through posters and other such ways of communication.
He is of the opinion that if any body intends to bring some social change or social reforms, he should start from his home. “I want to organize such exhibition in every corner of the state. I have started it from Kishtwar because I belongs to this place”, Nasir said. To make his posters eye-catching, Nasir has used special techniques of communication using phrases rather than sentences. He has also laid special emphasis on giving colours to his posters.
The collection of 35 posters in Nasir’s proposed exhibition read, “Murder in womb”, “Be a woman before being mother”, “War & peace”, Terrorism devours its own children” and “Environment existence is our existence”. His poster “Be a woman before being a mother” carries in it volume of wisdom in conveying them Do’s and Don’t before being married. His Posters on other issues pertaining to human development are equally interesting. His poster on War and Peace carries a beautiful illustration with a meaningful caption “war is not the solution but a problem. Posters on various burning issues such as HIV/AIDS, Drug Addiction, Smoking, Environment, child labour; Dowry, terrorism etc are equally thoughtful, convincing and eye-catching
