About Zahira Sarwar

Hi! I'm Zahira, the creative mind behind Rasm Print Creations. I'm a mother, an artist, an activist, a published illustrator and a visionary. The word “rasm” in Dari (one of the official languages of Afghanistan) translates to “draw” because I hand draw everything and Afghanistan is my motherland. By including a word from my mother tongue that may be difficult to pronounce for some, I invite consumers of my art to experience the space between "here" and "there",  between West and East that I occupy as an immigrant or Afghan diaspora on unceded and unsurrendered Anishinaabe Algonquin territory (Ottawa, Canada). At the core of Rasm Print Creations is the aim of using art as a tool to celebrate diversity while educating viewers about cultures that are portrayed in a singular and often negative light in mainstream media. Art can be revolutionary in changing the way we talk and think about diversity.
