From Saturday to Thursday, Alserkal Avenue and Ishara Art Foundation present the exhibition of artworks that invokes relationship to reading and remembering as collective acts of resistance. The title of the show is inspired by a verse by poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz written during his imprisonment in Montgomery Central Jail in Pakistan.
The show highlights the different surfaces and materials on which memories, traces, imprints and songs reside, inviting us to think about how we spread them further.
The art exhibition is curated by Sabih Ahmed and counts works from the “Prabhakar Collection” by artists:
– Anju Dodiya who creates expressive watercolors layered with images and symbolism;
– Astha Butail who unravels Indian mythology and methods of storytelling;
