Outlook Mixtape: The Indian Superman and an Afghan Iron Woman

June 6, 2025

An ode to unexpected action heroes.

Nasir Shaikh led a motley crew of weavers and labourers to film a spoof remake of Superman and created the most unlikely man of steel to take to the skies, Malegaon ka Superman.

Afghan artist Kubra Khademi was so enraged by the sexual harassment women faced every day, that she fought back - wearing a suit of armour with exaggerated breasts and buttocks and transforming into a sort of Iron Woman. Her protest would bring Kabul’s busiest street to a standstill.

Marina Abramovic is a powerhouse of performance art, showing almost super human levels of endurance and audaciousness. She may seem invincible – especially when she takes her concepts to extreme, sometimes life threatening limits.

Presenter: Mobeen Azhar

Producer: Maryam Maruf
