Islamabad: COMSATS University Islamabad (CUI) opened an exhibition titled Everyday Under a Changing Sky at the COMSATS Art Gallery on November 12, featuring 99 student photographs and posters. Rector Prof. Dr. Raheel Qamar inaugurated it as part of Students’ Week, alongside Incharge Campus Prof. Dr. Majid Iqbal, faculty members and artists.
Curated by Ms. Farrah Mahmood Rana, the show combines two student projects from the Department of Art and Design. One, taught by Associate Professor Meezan Ali Mir, uses photography to capture ordinary experiences and surroundings. The other, assigned by Associate Professor Anwer Ali, features posters that use typography and imagery to raise awareness of climate change and the need for sustainable practices.
Prof. Qamar said universities should nurture creativity, critical thinking and social awareness as well as impart academic knowledge, and urged students to apply their skills to challenges such as climate change. Prof. Iqbal praised the department and stressed learning beyond the classroom.
Ms. Rana said climate change is now a reality, and that art and design can create awareness, encourage dialogue and inspire collective responsibility.
The exhibition is open to the public until December 4, 2026.
