Truck art has also helped bring missing children home
Thanks in part to the efforts the anthropologist and filmmaker, Pakistani trucks don't only look and sound good — they also serve a social good. She helped launch an award-winning project in 2019 in which a small number of trucks carry portraits of missing children, along with a number to call for Roshni Helpline, a Karachi-based nonprofit dedicated to recovering them.
"So that if whoever sees this image and wants to reach out to the helpline with any kind of information, it would be easier for them to remember the number and everything," she explains.
Many did reach out. Of the 20 or so missing children whose portraits were painted on trucks, Khan says at least five were found.
