Title: Muhabbatan Sachiyan Anmol Theatre Mujra Poster featuring Afreen Khan 
Country: Pakistan
Year: 2019
Frame: Glossy green wood frame with acrylic front
Condition: Vintage
Publisher: Anmol Theatre, Gujrat

A digitally rendered stage poster for a 2019 mujra performance at Anmol Theatre in Gujrat, Pakistan. Centered around popular dancer Afreen Khan, the poster flaunts saturated colors, rhinestone-like typography, and a suggestive pose to lure working-class spectators. These posters, often displayed outside theaters, use glamour and spectacle to advertise seductive stage shows that blur the line between dance, comedy, and softcore performance in Punjab’s underground mujra circuit. 

Featured in the documentary Showgirls of Pakistan (2020)

Exhibited in “Spasial Program” at SculptureCenter, New York, June 18 –July 28, 2025. 

Availability: Free pickup on July 29, or worldwide shipping (price excludes shipping).
