History! Pakistani Truck Art originated in a time of British-Colonial rule where Fresco Painters of the Mughal Empire who worked on palaces found themselves unemployed. They turned to employing their talents into painting Bedford Cargo Trucks that arrived in Karachi so that all across the country, even those who did not understand English or could read or write any language were able to identify the cargo based off the art on it. Today this art form lives on and is even incorporated by Truck Artists into home decor items (like this one!).
