Swineryy Speaks: A Conversation about Comedy, Culture and Storytelling

Swineryy is one of South Asia's most beloved comedy accounts on Instagram. Featuring short clips of original animated characters (ranging from a foul-mouthed pig wondering why he's disliked by Muslims, an even more foul-mouth alien in space, a judgmental aunty who dislikes her friend Shazia’s daughter, a preachy and conflicted "Blue Molvi Sahab" (a conservative, religious man/cleric) who often loses himself in his own lectures, a baby koala clearly in a very distressing and toxic relationship with his father, and more!), the creator is an anonymous comedian from Pakistan who voices the characters and writes their stories alone.

Swineryy's U-M residency is sponsored in part by the U-M Arts Initiative and the Penny W. Stamps School Of Art & Design.
