From their respective bases in Kuwait and San Francisco, two sisters are winning hearts on Instagram with their old-school animations driven by childhood memories

A scroll through the @bohrasisters page on Instagram will leave you feeling wistful and longing for the return of a bygone era. It might even make you reminisce about those old-school picture books with loud, colourful illustrations that tell stories of busy marketplaces, foods and people. It’s a trip down memory lane, only now it’s digital. The page, which belongs to sisters Zainab, the younger sibling based in Kuwait, and Sakina Sabunwala from San Francisco, is a collection of stop-motion animation videos, many inspired by their own childhoods and experiences that are illustrated and produced entirely by the duo.

“We started our Instagram page as a hobby in 2015. We wanted to do something in collaboration with each other, where we could both put our hobbies to use — mine, making animations, and my sister’s, drawing. Our idea was to create videos to showcase our childhood memories, something we could later visit and smile about,” says Zainab.
