This essay tracks the challenging and provocative collaboration of a woman artist – Naiza H. Khan – with male artisans in contemporary Pakistan. British-born writer of Pakistani heritage, Irna Qureshi, who herself has extensive experience of collaborating with a male photographer, critically examines Naiza H. Khan's ouvre of metal artworks made with artisans in Karachi's crowded marketplaces. What are the complexities, contradictions, and revelatory possibilities inherent in such collaborations? How does such collaboration between a female artist and a male artisan from very different social backgrounds challenge political and personal gendered spaces? What is the language and code a female ‘instigator’ must adopt, in order to communicate her sensual and stimulating concept to a male artisan with a ‘traditional’ worldview? The essay provides a unique insight into the ‘unwritten rules of engagement’ in such collaborations
