A woman opened up a museum, Mohatta Palace Museum, focusing on the blooming of Pakistani art. Often times their art is about the pain and violence there. 

Much of the art has to do with the terrorism between Islamic militants and the relationship between Pakistan and America. The artist that has made pieces based off of such things said "To hell with Uncle Sam"

All of the artists have similarities having to do with the violence they see coming from America. The woman made the exhibition to show that the city where she is from is more than violence and fear.

Is it by accident that all of there art just so happens to do with the violence they experience, or does the violence have such a great impact that that is all they can express?

If her city has ore to say then violence and fear then why is that all she displays at the museum? I understand that all of the pieces have strong meanings, but maybe they can show the aspect of other people of the city not having to do with the violence and possibly the peace of the city comparing it to the violence.
