Pop art emerged as a groundbreaking movement that challenged the conventions of fine art by drawing inspiration from popular and mass culture. It celebrated the everyday, incorporating imagery from advertising, comic books, and mass-produced objects. Maria Qamar, known as Hatecopy, is a Pakistani-Canadian artist known for her satirical pop art, which critiques and explores the hybridization of South Asian and Canadian cultures. Influenced by Roy Lichtenstein’s comic-book style and the melodrama of Indian soap operas, her vibrant and witty works address themes like cultural stereotypes, immigrant identity, and the diaspora experience.
