To Sabeen, With Love

Dil Phaink is a celebration of an inimitable spirit of abandon and exuberance, bordering on melodrama. We believe these troubled times and our muddled identities aren’t the problem, they’re the platform: the perfect stage for a nature that tilts towards the flamboyant, the need to wear your heart on your sleeve, take chances, romance the days, write poetry, and be joyous – to be ‘dil phaink’.

Artists, graphic designers, typographers, musicians, writers, videographers and architects will come together for this show to create an audiovisual showcase of Pakistani street culture, cult cinema, visual memory and matters of the heart. The show addresses how we as Pakistanis are responding to what is happening around us and how our humour becomes a refuge for the times when we feel powerless — a silent admission of the absurd logic that sometimes defines how we live and love in Pakistan. 15 May 2015 - 25 May 2015 10:00 AM - 10.00 PM Queen Elizabeth Hall Southbank Centre, London (Free and open to all) Learn More You can follow the show’s journey to London via Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

[dilphaink]

This summer, PeaceNiche is taking “Dil Phaink”, a multimedia love letter to the Pakistani spirit, to Alchemy in London. Alchemy is Southbank Centre’s annual festival showcasing the best of dance, music, theatre, design, fashion, comedy and literature from South Asia and the UK.

One of our exhibits is titled “Politics: Pakistan’s National Sport”. Powered by conspiracy theories and the shenanigans of the politicians we have allegedly elected into office, we all have knee-jerk reactions to breaking news. From the petrol crisis to talks with India, everyone is an expert and an armchair critic. We are crowdsourcing content for this exhibit and want to showcase your words, photographs, films, music, art, humour, poetry, memes and mash-ups.

If you would like to be a participating artist and have digital content you’d like us to consider, please get in touch.

Important Notes: 1. The deadline for submissions is April 10th, 2015 2. Content must focus on politics and and can be in the form of text, graphics, music, and video 3. Content can be in English or Urdu 4. Please send links (no attachments) to [email protected] 5. Borrowed or appropriated content must be credited to original owners 6. Only shortlisted contributors will be contacted Link: http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whatson/dil-phaink-an-installation-by-peaceniche-1000930
