Malala Yousafzai
2015
AZAM's portrait was officially commissioned by the Yousafzai family, and is permanently exhibited at University of Birmingham.
​
During the unveiling at The Barber Institute of Fine Arts in November 2015, Malala stated:
“It is more than a painting for me. It’s the support Nasser Azam gives to the education campaign that I stand for. It shows that people are standing with me to make sure no child is out of school. It is that support that strengthens me – we are together.”
