Inspired by the Black cap as one of the objects representing justice in the collections at National Justice Museum, Neelum has run painting and drawing workshop focusing on headgears in different cultures.

Head gears carry symbolic meaning which carries spiritual significance for different communities. This workshop explored this idea further and participants made their individual expressions on canvas while learning techniques and processes of the painting process.
