Sehba Sarwar, who serves as VBB’s Artistic Director/Founder, conceptualized the publications and collected majority of the writings and art while scholars Margot Backus, PhD, and Maria Gonzalez, PhD, played key roles as co-editors. The publications were designed by Joshua Turner, and the books include a rich variety of literary genres and visual art.
